Seeds of Inspiration: A Horticultural Therapy Program List

$25.00

In my professional experience, sometimes I needed this list to help me plan my month ahead, structure my sessions, or simply find some Monday morning inspiration. After a few years of use, I now would love to share it with you.

Bring fresh creativity to your HT, recreation, or other sessions with this comprehensive Program Master List. Designed to inspire sensory, seasonal, and meaningful engagement, this resource offers over 150 activity ideas that you can adapt to different ages, settings, and goals. While not a replacement for formal program planning or goal-driven therapy, this resource is effective for those days when you need a spark of inspiration for planning.

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.
