Abstract
- The article presents a research paper that examined the use of horticulture-based activities in improving engagement in older adults with dementia based on a literature review of 6 articles. Topics include the lack of treatments that can stop the progression of dementia, how horticulture activities enhance social interaction and exercise for a wide range of physical and cognitive skills, and recommendations on how to structure such a program while considering possible negative outcomes.
