Arboriculture is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants.

Numerous studies have shown that spending time with trees calms the part of our human nervous system that releases stress hormones as well as boosts our parasympathetic nervous system, which maintains our immunity and helps us fight off disease.
