How does horticulture benefit people socially? What activities involve other people and how are these activities good for mental health and sociability? How do gardens connect us with nature and allow us to think outside our immediate problems or difficulties? What about SHT (Social and Therapeutic Horticulture)? How does this benefit people in terms of recovery from illness, improving mental and physical well-being, and connecting to the bigger picture and other people? You should be able to discuss the elements of sensory gardens and how these benefit users. How might you engage sights, smell, touch, and hearing within a horticultural setting?
