abstract="This paper presents a personal account of how horticultural activities were implemented on a contractual basis in several nursing homes and later implemented through an activities therapy department. Individual examples are cited demonstrating the benefits of horticulture as a treatment modality offering an opportunity to assess functional levels and establish measurable goals and objectives. This paper shows how horticulture as an activity becomes respected as a therapy among disciplines of the care planning team at one long-term care facility.<p />",
