Horticulture Therapy in Inpatient Rehab

[Guest guest]

This is for hospital-based inpatient rehab units: Our Recreational Therapist

wants to start a modest horticulture therapy program (indoors on the unit). Our

Infection Control folks are asking us for examples of policies or successful

programs that address their concerns about the risk of soil-borne organisms.

If you can help, especially by sharing your policies, please contact me.

You may want to contact Bryn Mawr Rehab in PA. They have an outstanding

horticulture program.
