At a Glance

Join Horticultural Therapist Irene Brady Barber from Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to learn about the nurturing value plants have on people. From the process of digging in the soil with either a trowel or your bare hands to the aromatic responses stimulating cognitive activity and memory recognition, let us uncover and explore why gardening is so good for humans, especially with ergonomic tools or with universal accessibility. Learn what you can do outdoors and indoors to reap the therapeutic benefits from plants. Irene will use the virtual setting of Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to illustrate the opportunities you can employ at your own home or work place.
