| Abstract/Contents: | "Traditionally, the term horticulture therapy has been associated with plant cultivation as a tool of occupational therapy. Today, a broader range of definitions are recognized ranging from plant cultivation to the appreciation of landscape. The level of interest in the subject is illustrated by a diversity of concerned professions from architects to providers of care and support for people with disabilities. Research at the University of Bath ranged from techniques of plant cultivation to landscape designs suitable for a wide range of people including those with learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and the frail and elderly. The underlying aim was to encourage active and/or passive involvement with plants, to produce systems successful enough to provide settings where people are able to develop their own interests and improve their quality of life." |
