Friends from Wando High School

Adaptive Gardens of the Lowcountry provides services to disabled High School students in the Charleston area through the use of horticultural therapy.  Our belief and experience is that engaging students in the hands-on operation of a gardening activity, from preparation through harvesting (and eating), has a clear positive effect on the participants.  Further, at the completion of this program, some of the students are also trained in small scale farming activities, and are prepared to take a position working in this field.  What is horticultural therapy?
