Grant Overview

Minnesota's Horticulture Therapy for Aging Adults initiative capitalizes on the state's strong tradition of gardening and community green spaces, with 70% of Minnesotans participating in outdoor activities. The program implements horticulture therapy programs for older adults, focusing on the therapeutic benefits of gardening and plant care. Workshops and community gardens will be established across Minnesota, promoting physical activity and mental wellness among seniors. Minnesota's rural-urban divide presents both opportunities and challenges for horticulture therapy, with urban areas offering access to community gardens and rural areas providing expansive natural spaces. The program will prioritize areas with high concentrations of older adults, such as the Twin Cities metropolitan area, where 12% of the population is aged 65 or older. How Will Minnesota Measure Success? The program will track participant outcomes, including improved mood and cognitive function, as well as increased social connections among older adults. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations with experience in horticulture therapy and senior services. Minnesota's Department of Agriculture will provide technical assistance on horticulture best practices, ensuring that programs are grounded in the latest research and expertise. The application process will require detailed project plans, including budgets and timelines, as well as evidence of partnerships with local gardening organizations and community groups. By supporting organizations that can effectively deliver horticulture therapy programs, the grant program aims to enhance the quality of life for Minnesota's older adults.
