Connection with flowers and ornamental plants has been considered beneficial for psychological well-being since times of evolution. Despite nutrition and mutual use, human beings are an integral and essential part of nature, and there has been a logical harmony between man and nature. Since evolution, flowers have been known to be beneficial to psychological well-being in connection with nature. Ecotherapy (nature therapy) is a type of psychotherapy technique that is based on explicit environmental or ecological interventions. Social gardening and horticultural therapy and the principles of nature therapy have been integrated into other methods of psychotherapy for better effectiveness.
