| Research Abstract |
We administered some continual horticultural programs on a trial basis with a focus on seeding, growing, harvesting and eating process for pediatric patients with intractable asthma. As results of providing these programs, it showed no decline in their lung function activities. Setting an experience of cultivation, making them take responsibility for own plants, sharing out the harvest for their family, these program cultivated a sense of voluntary participation. The programs had showed significant stress reduction of the one client, and had steered him toward improvement in his behavior in the hospital ward. So that led him to get out of the hospital. The timing of their discharge from hospital were related to their mental stability by the program.
As results on behavioral analysis of the clients in the therapeutic garden for provide the programs, their action was limited by the flourishing undergrowth vegetation.
