The effects of therapeutic horticulture on student well-being and academic resilience
The findings indicate that therapeutic horticulture is a promising intervention model for improving mental health and academic outcomes for U.S. college students. These outcomes are critical for overall health and well-being, as well as academic performance, which contributes to lifelong positive outcomes. Future research should include strong study designs that include random assignment into conditions.
