The Cultivation Unit
Gardening and Horticulture
There is increasing awareness among researchers and health practitioners of the potential health benefits derived from gardening activities. The sights and smells of the garden can promote relaxation and reduce stress. Gardening can leave a person with an incredible sense of peace and serenity.
For the above reasons, The Cultivation Unit was started in the summer of 2019 with therapeutic gardening/horticulture in mind for Clubhouse members. And so, all members of the San Angelo Clubhouse enjoy and harvest the healing power of gardening.
