Kayte introduced horticultural therapy's origins and her personal connection to it. We discussed why nature complements counselling and the differences between nature and garden therapy. Exploring its beneficiaries, Kayte highlighted its accessibility and benefits for neurodivergent individuals and children. She stressed the importance of working with trained therapists and distinguishing horticultural therapy from nature-based interventions. Inside therapy sessions, we examined the dynamics, considering safety concerns and differences between sessions for adults and children. Lastly, Kayte debunked a myth about horticultural therapy.
