Abstract | Research supports the common understanding that spending enjoyable time in nature is one of the most reliable ways of reducing stress indicators such as heart rate and blood pressure. This article describes a pilot program in which the Chicago Botanic Garden leveraged nature's stress-reducing qualities to complement a program for veterans in treatment for stress-related disorders. The anecdotal and observed response to the program was overwhelmingly positive. The model that generated success can be readily adapted by other museums. It is based on a working partnership with a human service provider that matches agency expertise in client needs with museum staff expertise in collection content and programming. (As Provided). |
