  • Therapeutic gardens in education [Elektronski vir]
    Perc Nekrep, Tatjana
    This paper aims to shed light on the influence of therapeutic gardens on individuals with special needs, especially on "different learners." We examine therapeutic gardens through the historical ... development of garden design and plant use knowledge. Horticultural therapy is an interdisciplinary science that improves individuals' social, cognitive, physical, and psychological well-being through its approaches. Sensory gardens are in the foreground, designed to stimulate the five senses: sight, touch, smell, sound, and taste. We identify pupils with special needs who are "different learners." Different learners, both children and adults, have similar needs. Is there a more suitable place to meet these needs than in a garden? We demonstrate ways to use gardens as therapeutic tools and their impact on various groups of individuals with special needs through examples of good practice. Therapeutic gardens are designed to provide sensory stimulation, emotional comfort, and physical exercise, making them an ideal environment for horticultural therapy. Therapeutic gardens benefit people with special needs, such as learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or mental health disorders. Research has shown that therapeutic gardens can help improve various symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, aggression, and self-esteem. Horticultural therapy is a practical approach that can enhance the well-being of individuals with special needs. Using therapeutic gardens as a therapeutic tool can help improve individuals' social, cognitive, physical, and psychological well-being. Sensory gardens are particularly effective as they provide a range of sensory experiences that can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Horticultural therapy is a powerful tool that can help individuals with special needs improve their quality of life, and therapeutic gardens are an essential component of this approach.
