Healing Through Horticulture

On 17 December 2025, the Guidance Team hosted the ‘Horticultural Therapy Booth’, organised by the Hong Kong Horticultural Therapy Foundation at the Covered Playground. Led by registered horticultural therapists, this engaging event introduced students and staff to the benefits of gardening therapy. Participants received small potted plants and valuable insights into plant care, fostering a greater appreciation for nature. The therapists emphasised the significant mental health benefits associated with interacting with plants, including stress reduction, enhanced concentration, and the promotion of positive emotions. This event was not only educational but also a wonderful opportunity for personal connection with nature, illustrating the healing power of horticultural therapy. We look forward to more collaboration with the Hong Kong Horticultural Therapy Foundation in the future.
