dc.description.abstractWhile reference to the health benefits of plants and gardening can be found in the early days of the United States, the beginnings of the profession of horticultural therapy came after the conclusion of World War II, as a result of the significant growth in occupational therapy programs and rehabilitation medicine. This paper will present brief reviews of the history of the profession, current educational opportunities, and common work settings of those that practice horticultural therapy.en_US
