“The physical action of planting and caring for plants has benefits for individuals’ mental health because it allows them a sense of pride and connection to a growing, living thing which can help them channel energy into something productive! It also promotes taking time to be present and engage in a form of self care.” said Theresa.
Meet Theresa!
Theresa wanted to help her friends and peers find a creative outlet for self-care and mental health. So, she organized a horticultural outing to bring everyone closer to nature!
Her group had a beautiful day outdoors connecting to nature, reducing stress, being social and enjoying the moment.
Well done, Theresa!
