Its origins can be traced back to the period of ancient Egypt. At present, horticultural therapy is gradually developed and perfected in countries such as Britain, the United States and Japan, and recognized professional institutions have emerged. Research and activities related to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Maucao in our country have also been carried out one after another.
