DES FLEURS GARDEN CLUB

Open Meeting

Speaker -  1 pm. Jan Doherty, a horticultural therapist and author, will describe her work and the book she has written.  Doherty created her own horticultural therapy business in Greater Cincinnati in 1995 and for 10 years she used horticulture as a therapeutic tool for residents of nursing homes and  Alzheimer facilities. The success of her business led many of her clients to request a book on how she practiced.  In 2009, “A Calendar Year of Horticultural Therapy” was published.  This Calendar is carried on Amazon and in some local bookstores. It will also be available at this presentation.  Doherty, a retired microbiologist, is a Clermont County Master Gardner and lectures extensively in Ohio. She and her husband live in Eastgate in Clermont County.
