Connect People with Plants and Nature... for Goodness Sake!

Want a program for staff to help reduce stress?

Need a presentation that provides outreach to your community?

Require professional development training for clinicians, educators or staff?

Looking for therapeutic horticulture services to be conducted at your agency or facility?

Would like a wellness or 'green theme' program for a staff retreat, wellness fair or 'girfriends' outing?

Gardening for Good offers a variety of programs, presentations, training sessions and services. Our audiences range from healthcare staff, educators, clinicians to the girlfriend groups and the general public. Our therapeutic horticulture services are delivered to several populations that include children and adolescents as well as older adults and the elderly.

Each program or service is designed to meet specific participant goals, yet all share a common focus: connecting people & plants to promote and enhance well-being.

HORTICULTURAL THERAPY SERVICES

Mary Beth Miller provides services designed to meet special therapeutic goals for a range of ages and needs. Whether working with adolescents in a partial hospital program, children in a bereavement group or older adults in a long term care facility, she is trained to facilitate a connection with plants to meet care goals. Contact her to learn about these services.

OPEN PRESENTATIONS

Many of our presentations, workshops and events are open to the public and/or professionals. Several times during the year we conduct our own training programs. And often we'll provide links to open events and programs we provide to our clients. Go to Programs/Registration for complete details including any fees & registration information.

HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAMS

We offer several program options for health and wellness events or on-site corporate presentations. From stress management programs to 'easy-care' garden demonstrations, our offerings are perfect for employee and support groups, healthcare groups, caregivers, and the general public. Contact us to discuss the possibilities that are just right for your group or audience.

CAREGIVER RESPITE PROGRAMS

Therapeutic gardening programs are ideal for caregivers experiencing stress and needing to improve self-care and coping skills. If your agency, organization or company offers programs or services for caregivers, contact us to learn about how our Caregiver Programs can fit your needs.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & IN-SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAMS

The practical use of horticultural therapy in clinical and other healthcare settings is just one of the topics we offer for professional programs. We also conduct sessions for professionals that focus on wellness and managing stress. Contact us for options that can fulfill your professional development program requirements.

CONSULTATION SERVICES

You can tap into Gardening for Good's expertise for one-on-one consultation. We offer fee-for-service consultation on a range of issues. Perhaps we can help with a custom activity program for a specialized population. Or provide site assessments for programs and gardens. Maybe your facility is involved with the culture change movement and needs assistance with therapeutic gardening programs and garden design. Contact us and we'll be happy to talk to you about your specific needs.

We'll Come to Your Area! We're happy to discuss the potential for conducting our workshops and providing our consultation services in your area. Contact us to request information.
