Horticultural therapy Puns

I've gotten into gardening in May and found the practice incredibly therapeutic and healing. Then someone on another sub mentioned horticultural therapy as a professional therapy practice that use plants and gardening to improve mental and physical health. Just curious if anyone here knows about this work. Thanks!

For everyone out there with a job involving Horticultural Therapy, what would you tell someone considering that path? Also is it realistic to hope for a job in this field that works freelance and isn't in an institution of some sort? (School, hospital, prison, ect,)

Also anyone who's received therapy through horticulture, did you feel that it satisfied what you were looking for from it?

Just very curious, it sounds like an awesome form of helping others

Hello!

I am in career exploration mode and I wanted to reach out to the OT community to see how much freedom OTs have to creatively explore interventions. I am interested in alternative therapies such as those listed in the title. I understand that OT is already holistic profession, but is anyone explored the "holistic OT" field. What settings have you worked in? Also, do OT's ever work in small groups? Or is it most often on on one?

The other career I am considering is being a special education teacher but I'm not sure how much freedom that would afford me and I like the idea of being able to go in depth in the healing aspects and research.

Thanks!!!

Hey there, I was just wondering what all of you know about or have experienced using farming/gardening as a form of therapy. I ask because I'm an organic farmer and I've found that my work is extremely fulfilling and helps me manage my CPTSD. The physical labor of it reduces my anxiety and helps me get a good night sleep, and both the acts of caring for the plants and providing food to others is very empowering and rewarding. Also for me the lifestyle of being a farmer is a perfect combination of tranquil but exciting. Does anyone have any similar experiences or just any thoughts in general? I'm interested in anything on the subject. Thanks!

So next semester is my last as an undergrad (Just submitted my clinical psych application, fingers crossed), and I needed 3 more hours to fill some time. I saw around campus signs for a horticultural therapy class and signed up.... But I have no clue what to expect. I know there will be some about people with physical and mental disabilities, as well as so rehab/occupational therapy stuff, but I know there will be a psychotherapy aspect as well.

I was wondering if anyone had any had any experience in this area, and knew what to expect.

Working on creating a sensory garden for my kid. But curious as to what others ideas are, too.

I live in an apartment so i didn't have anywhere to compost so I called a local food stand to see if they composted and would accept mine as donation and they said yes!

When I went there to drop off my compost for the first time, I met Steve who told me about the horticulture program they had at the food stand. They invite special needs students from local high schools each week and give each school their own garden plot to tend to. It's such an amazing program! They have their garden plots, herbs to sell on the weekends to help fund the program, and a butterfly garden!

They just recently build a lasagna garden as a milkweed nursery for to keep the butterfly garden alive.

My agency has a lovely tiny plot of land that is never used. I spoke to my director about the possibility of a community garden in the spot, aiming to hopefully introduce any clients and staff interested to the benefits of therapeutic gardening. Initially not as a billable service, more of a drop in type thing for all the different client service departments to use, but I am aiming to get my horticultural therapist certificate and perhaps graduating to a billable service.

Does any one have experience implementing this type of garden in a mental health outpatient clinic? Any advice for an aspiring horticultural therapist?

Hi! I am considering pursuing occupational therapy as a career. Currently I coordinate a gardening and nutrition program for high schoolers and have an interest in hortiucultural therapy for the developmentally disabled. I was wondering if anyone here uses horticultural therapy within OT or any other alternative therapy such as hippotherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, guided imagery, reiki, or nutritional therapy within their practice. I'm especially intersted in working in schools for disabled children.

Thanks!!

If you don’t mind sharing, where do you live and how much do you make a year? I’m switching careers and my husband is concerned with the amount of money it’s possible to make in this field.

I’m 23 years old (female) and after debating with myself for a long time about what kind of career I’d like, I’m currently musing over the idea of Horticulture and looking into courses and such (will likely take a leisure one part-time before making any big leaps into longer courses).

One thing in particular that is holding me back from fully getting into the idea of it is my physique and minor disability. I know not every job in horticulture requires a lot of strength but it’s making me pause and wonder if I’ll be limited to what I can do. I’m 5’2, and suffer from a congenital condition that can make my feet incredibly painful at times and my left foot tends to turn in at an angle. This can happen when I have prolonged periods of standing or exercising after not doing so for a long time, like when I have a week off my work (currently in retail) and return my feet tend to be in agony and stiffen up to the point where it’s painful even standing up and I struggle to move my feet at first. After maybe 2-3 weeks the pain will subside and though my foot may be at angle slightly (almost unnoticeable unless you know about it) I can pretty much function normally again. Due to this, I also have very poor balance. I kind of just live with it - like unless I get an office job where I sit most of the day I’m pretty much guaranteed to be in pain at first.

I tend not to tell employers about my disability as it is incredibly minor and I don’t want to be discredited and tossed aside because of a few weeks of pain and a bit of initial trouble walking. However I do worry that within an industry like horticulture where you’re on your feet all day I may struggle and be thought of as burden, or it may be an excuse to fire me if they deem me unsuitable for the role. I have the interest and believe I could succeed in studying horticulture, I just worry that my physique makes me undesirable in this industry. I did farm-work in Australia and found my feet eventually adjusted to the pain, but I remember having a lot of trouble when I was orange picking and was required to climb ladders and do things at a height.

Sorry if this question is stupid, but I’m just curious to here from those experienced in the Industry, or those who may have disabilities themselves. I wouldn’t want to waste my or other peoples time by studying this and then being no use. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm out of US but has a accredited HT association here. The sum of courses fee is 1500USD and it requires another 1600USD for internship fee plus 400hours of volunteering internship, while you cannot ask for any subsidy from the government or the NGO. I was overwhelmed and feel like when people are saying they would like to spread love and help others blablala, but the nature is very likely to make money out of it.

I gave up to be a registered HT and prefer studying it by reading books instead. I am just curious how much does it cost in the US? Or maybe it's the normal prices?

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

Long-time lurker here.

I was raised by a Narc mother who invalidated every feeling I had and a people pleasing father who would take out his frustrations and resentment of life on me. I think I have two stories that encapsulate my childhood.

On my 14th birthday, I decided to not let my "best friend," who really was really a big ass bully, come to my party. My mom was really good friends with his parents so of course she was worried about how she would be viewed ("but what will their parents think?") and was more concerned with my "best friend" than my feelings (she tried to guilt trip me into inviting him over repeating how I was hurting his feelings).

As far as my dad, after soccer practice when I was in 5th grade he asked me who my hero was. I, for whatever reason, said Abraham Lincoln. This really upset my dad as he is a Southern Apologist but what he was really looking for me to say was him. "When I was younger, I looked up to people like my dad." He was legit angry I didn't say him! I guess I failed to buoy his self-esteem or something.

So, I've spent the last year in therapy really working on myself and building up my identity. For so long I looked "outwards in" with how I should act responding to other people in the room instead of "inwards out" basing my actions on my values, wants, and needs. One thing that I just can't kick is the pressure that I always feel to be doing something productive.

Both of my parents are workaholics. Often times regular work is not enough for them -- they take on side projects to flesh out their schedule more. My mom serves on boards, volunteers/fundraises, owns a business, and does side projects. My dad, more tilted towards manual labor, is a local handyman and juggles multiple horticulture projects at once. They have no hobbies to speak of though they will try and say that some facet of their work is a hobby (even though they actually dislike how much they work and say they are going to start doing less... but never do).

In a surprise to no one, I could never do or be enough. They viewed me as lazy, Type B, and without drive. Somewhere along the way I got it in my mind that I was going to surprise them. I remember getting straight A's as a Freshman taking a bunch of credits. I received crickets in response. I worked 30 hours a week all throughout college while graduating on time. Not too big of a deal.

I kind of bebopped around until my late 20s when I realized I wanted to be a physical therapist.
