By Ciara Parsons, Horticultural Therapist, TELUS International Ireland
Our team members are very proud of the organic garden and geodome at our TELUS International Cork campus and I’m very lucky to work there as gardener and horticultural therapist.
Therapeutic horticulture is the process of using plants, gardens and outdoor spaces to improve and support physical and mental health.
My job is to facilitate time spent in nature, and to highlight the benefits this can have, particularly when it comes to stress in the workplace. In the current virtual environment, I do this by sharing advice on the health benefits of organic home-grown vegetables and how to articles for grow it at home.
