Summary
Celebrate the healing touch of nature on World Therapeutic Horticulture Day and embrace the benefits of gardening for well-being.

World Therapeutic Horticulture Day, celebrated on May 18th annually, serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact gardening and nature can have on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. As stress, anxiety, and various health challenges continue to pervade our societies, therapeutic horticulture emerges as a powerful tool for fostering recovery and enhancing overall wellness.

Teliis CEO, Fiona Thackeray launched the first World Therapeutic Horticulture Day in 2023. Trellis is a therapeutic gardening charity based in Scotland.

The essence of Therapeutic Horticulture lies in its ability to harness the restorative power of nature, offering solace and rejuvenation to individuals and communities alike. Through gardening and plant-related activities, people find avenues for self-expression, relaxation, and healing. From cultivating vibrant gardens to engaging in mindful practices amidst natural landscapes, therapeutic horticulture provides a holistic approach to health and happiness.

World Therapeutic Horticulture Day serves as a global platform for awareness, education, and celebration. Across diverse cultures and geographies, local groups unite in organising events and activities aimed at showcasing the myriad benefits of therapeutic horticulture. From workshops and seminars to community gardening projects, the day is a testament to the transformative potential of connecting with nature.

At its core, this special day underscores the invaluable contributions of practitioners in the field of therapeutic horticulture. Their dedication and expertise empower individuals to navigate challenges, cultivate resilience, and embrace a renewed sense of vitality. From Melbourne to Lagos, and Iceland to the Caribbean, these skilled professionals embody the spirit of healing through gardening, enriching lives and fostering a deeper connection to the natural world.

As we commemorate World Therapeutic Horticulture Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to harnessing the healing power of nature. Together, we can cultivate environments that nurture growth, promote well-being, and inspire hope for generations to come.
