Bahçecilik, meyve, çiçek ve sebze yetiştiriciliğidir. Bu terapötik bir yaklaşım olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bahçıvanlık faaliyetleri, yaşlılar için zihinsel, sosyal ve bilişsel işlevlerini geliştirmek amacıyla
yeni bir strateji oluşmaktadır. Uzun vadeli bakım merkezlerinde yaşlılara yönelik, bitki yetiştirmek
bir tedavi olarak kullanılırken, Türkiyede hala böyle bir gelişmeye rastlanmamaktadır. Bu derleme
çalışmanın amacı, huzurevlerindeki bahçıvanlık etkinliklerin yaşlılar üzerindeki yararlarının ve
olumlu etkilerinin incelemesidir. Ayrıca, özellikle huzurevlerinde bahçıvanlık için uygun alanların
tasarımına yönelik bazı tasarım kriterlerini sunmaktadır. Huzurevlerindeki yaşlı bireylerın hortikültürel talepleri bireyi zorlamadan karşılayabilecek biçimde organize edilmesi gerekmektedir. Dış mekânların bu organizasyon içerisindeki önemi mutlaka anlaşılmalı ve benimsenmelidir.

The Importance Of Horticulture Therapy And Gardening For Older Adults In Nursing Home

Öz

Horticulture is the cultivation of fruits, flowers, and vegetables. This is used as a therapeutic
approach. Horticultural activities may be a new strategy for the elderly to promote mental, social
and cognitive functioning. Over the past few decades, horticulture has been used as a suitable
treatment for elderly in long-term care centers while gardening is still not used as a treatment
for the elderly in Turkey. The aim of the study was to review the benefits or the positive effects of
horticultural therapy on elderly in nursing homes. The study also provides some helpful design
solutions to promote the creation of such spaces in nursing homes especially in Turkey. Horticul-
ture requests of elderly individuals in nursing homes need to be met in a way allowing easy access
of individuals in nursing homes. The importance of the horticulture in this organization must be
understood and adopted.
