Plant Profiles

An opportunity to work with patients to research the key seasonal plants and plants with healing properties that we grow at DMRC Stanford Hall.

Our current apothercary plants were grown from seed donated by the Chelsea Physic Garden.

We are gradually building a library of plant profiles to provide a valuable resource for use during Horticultural Therapy sessions.

However, it is also a useful therapeutic tool in itself for patients to research information as a means of developing plant knowledge.

It can also be used as an exercise to work on cognitive skills such as memory, information processing and concentration.
