Hort Therapy at Waveny Care Center

The Horticultural Therapy Program at Waveny Care Center was established in 1975 when Waveny opened. Trained volunteers, including several NCGC members, met weekly with residents to work on plant-related activities. Today, “Hort Therapy” is operated entirely by NCGC volunteers who meet eight times a year with two groups of residents arranging flowers for the dining room and creating plant-oriented projects for their rooms.  Hort Therapy is a member favorite and is a fun and rewarding experience for all!
