In Norway, Green Care comprises farm-based services to schools as well as health and social care. Farms can be used to host a wide range of activities, such as kindergartens, after-school programmes, school projects and theme assignments, education adapted to pupils with special needs, activities and tasks designed for psychiatric patients, mentally impaired and elderly with dementia. Green Care farms can also assist child-welfare authorities, e. g. , by acting as day-care centres or foster homes. Three case presentations of service farms are given

THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN CARE IN WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES By Dorit Karla Haubenhofer, Dr. Mag. ,1# Marjolein Elings, ir. ,1 Jan Hassink, Dr. ir. ,1 and Rachel Elizabeth Hine, Bsc. MEnv. 2 This article represents a review of green care across Western European countries. The following questions are addressed: What is green care, and what are its basic goals? What are the most commonly known types of green care interventions, and how are they connected to each other? There are different sectors of green care intervention that vary from each other regarding their structure, specific goals, and purpose. These traits will be investigated in this review. And lastly, how these interventions are designed and their approach to promote and provide health will be examined. Key words: Care farming, animal-assisted interventions, social and therapeutic horticulture, healing gardens, green exercise, wilderness therapy (Explore 2010; 6:106-111. © Elsevier Inc. 2010) INTRODUCTION Green care i

Horticultural Therapy Association of Victoria www. horticulturaltherapy. com. au Time spent in natural environments can provide a range of health benefits.

Read on for a range of suggestions on how to transform your own backyard into a sensory delight. Interactivity Your sensory garden should be designed to encourage interactivity.
