Horticultural Therapy in Design

Horticultural Therapy in Design focuses on the intersection of therapeutic practices and landscape design, equipping participants with the skills to create healing environments. This course emphasizes practical applications, enabling learners to engage in project-based activities that foster creativity and innovation in therapeutic landscapes. Participants will explore the psychological and physiological benefits of horticultural therapy, gaining insights into how to design spaces that promote well-being and community engagement.
The curriculum is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of both horticultural principles and design methodologies. Participants will work on real-world projects, culminating in a final design proposal that showcases their ability to integrate therapeutic elements into landscape architecture. By encouraging the publication of their findings in Cademix Magazine, learners will also develop skills in professional communication and knowledge dissemination.
