Mission:
To connect children and adults with the natural world through science-based horticultural education; to demonstrate the beauty and value of native and ornamental plants through themed public gardens; and to enhance life skills for children and adults with physical or mental challenges through horticultural therapy.
Horticultural Therapy:
Based in the therapy garden and greenhouse, this program offers plant-based activities to Henderson County Public Schools students with special needs as a means of skill development, rehabilitation and wellness. Students tend their own gardens, make nature crafts and enjoy the gardens and grounds on a weekly basis.
Bullington Gardens’ trained Horticultural Therapists also work with clients at three behavioral health facilities in our area, as a complementary therapy to enhance recovery and rehabilitation, help clients build new skills, and provide opportunities for joy and creative expression.
