People become more concern of the mental health issues after COVID-19. Many research found that people will feel relaxed and release pressure when they have contacted with the nature environment. The life cycle of plants and the changes of seasons show the life resilence and simply reflect the life education domain. Therefore, what is the recent development of using Horticultural to enhance the well being of people nowadays? What kinds of target groups are likely to be well deserved for this approach? In view of that, the guest speaker will share the valuable Horticultural Therapy experiences in Hong Kong and lead the participants to experience the elements of horticultural therapy through experiential games.
