Tucson Botanical Gardens: Caring for Caregivers – Horticultural Therapy Workshop

Celebrate the amazing world of herbs! Join us on an ethnobotanical journey in learning about the medicinal properties of herbs. Featuring a professional herbalist, we will also explore one plant medicine in particular, talk about its many usages, and explore its properties & history. Tea will be provided. Please bring a Journal and something to write with. The TBG Horticultural Therapy Department is launching a pilot program for Tucson-area healthcare workers and caregivers. This monthly workshop focuses on supporting mental wellness and reducing burnout through nature-based practices. Led by our HT Team and local specialists, including herbalists, aromatherapists, and mindfulness instructors, the program invites doctors, nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to experience the restorative power of therapeutic engagement with plants. We welcome anyone who is interested in learning about strategies for practicing self-compassion, stress reduction, and exploring your connection with nature.
