The main purpose of this study is to quantitatively grasp the effectiveness of the gardening program by conducting a gardening program to induce active activities of the elderly and to induce healing functions and social activities, and then observing the results before and after implementation. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, as a result of conducting 30 gardening programs for 20 elderly people at two elderly care facilities, the measure of depression was found to have an improvement effect as a practice-oriented program, and it was found to revitalize the elderly. In addition, it was found that the quality of life was improved by the gardening program, and it was found to be helpful in activating the brain.

본 연구는 고령자의 적극적인 활동을 유도하고 치유적 기능 및 사회적 활동을 이끌어낼 수 있도록 가드닝 프로그램을 진행한 후, 실시 전후의 결과를 관찰함으로써 가드닝 프로그램에 의한 효과를 정량적으로 파악하는 것이 주목적이다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 노인요양시설 2곳에서 노인20명을 대상으로 30회의 가드닝 프로그램을 실시한 결과, 우울에 대한 척도는 실습위주의 프로그램으로 개선효과가 나타났으며, 가드닝 프로그램에 의하여 노인들에게 활력을 주는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 가드닝 프로그램에 의해 삶의질이 높아진 것으로 파악되었으며, 뇌의 활성화에 도움이 되는 것으로 파악되었다.
