Horticultural Therapy (HT) method refers to the process of using gardening as a method to maintain and improve the existing health status of the individual, which can be applied by healthcare professionals. Horticultural therapy method is an application that positively contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, emotional processes and entertainment processes of the elderly. Collins and O 'Callaghan (2008 ) and Yao and Chen (2016) showed that older individuals with serious illness and weakness had improved health outcomes when they were busy with plants. In a study by Yao and Chen (2016); Individuals aged 65 years and older were treated with HT once a week for eight weeks, and an increase in daily life activities, happiness and interpersonal affinity was observed. In another semi-experimental study by Tse (2010), elderly individuals were given HT for eight weeks, after which an increase in life satisfaction and social communication of the elderly and a significant decrease in loneliness were found. These results showed that HT can be used for therapeutic purposes in the elderly. While horticultural therapy is used as a therapeutic approach for the elderly in nursing homes, there is still no such study in the geography we live in. The research was planned to determine the effect of hortic culture therapy on the loneliness and happiness levels of the elderly living in the nursing home.
