Abstract
The study was conducted to examine the research outcomes of horticultural therapy through the papers published of academic journals in horticulture for 6 years in Korea and demonstrate its multilateral effects. The most frequent forms of horticultural activity were in most cases art and craft (type III) and outdoor plant growing (type II); the number of times horticultural activities were done ranged from 11 to 15 (37.7%), the frequency was once a week (81%), the number of participants was less than ten (47.8%), and the most frequent form of horticultural therapy was transplanting (72 times). Therefore, the kind of horticultural activity, the number of times and frequency of them and the number of participants tend to be similar regardless of the characteristics of participants. These findings suggest that more individualized and diversified programs of horticultural activity need to be designed and implemented.
