Healthy Living with Northern Light Health: Therapeutic benefits of gardening

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - It’s harvest season, but gardening is more than a way to grow flowers and fresh vegetables. Spending time outdoors, working with our hands, and nurturing something from the ground up can have meaningful benefits for our mental and physical well-being.

We’re joined by Corey Carmichael, LCSW, psychiatric clinician and horticultural therapist at Northern Light Acadia Hospital to talk about the therapeutic benefits of gardening and how anyone, regardless of experience or space, can incorporate a little more gardening into their routine.
