Horticultural Therapy
Nature as a guide for resilience, reflection, and renewal?

Horticultural therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses gardening and plant-based activities to support healing, growth, and well-being.
In mental health therapy, horticultural therapy offers clients a grounded, hands-on way to process emotions, build coping skills, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Through guided experiences like planting, nurturing, and reflecting on natural cycles, clients can explore themes of resilience, transformation, and renewal.
At Riva, we have clinicians who are registered horticultural therapists and national leaders in the field, integrating this evidence-informed approach into mental health care with intention and expertise. Whether in person or virtually, we use nature-based interventions to create a space that fosters insight, connection, and lasting change.
