Meeting Your Needs
CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Whether your child needs to work on sensory processing, fine, gross, or visual motor skills, therapy in the garden doesn't feel like work! Your child will feel successful completing a variety of therapeutic activities such as planting a garden or engaging in nature-based crafts.
SENIOR SUPPORT
Healthy aging includes not only physical wellness, but social and emotional wellness too. Senior gardening groups keep bodies and minds active and healthy. Blossom Therapeutic Services run a variety of groups including dementia engagement, stroke support and social wellness groups in care facilities and local community settings.
MENTAL HEALTH
Spending time in green spaces is linked to a reduction in depression and anxiety. Blossom Therapeutic Services enables you to harness the stress-relieving power of nature, while literally helping you develop a growth-mindset.
