This study analyzed the development process of horticultural well-being activities, based on the case study of “Funakata Farm” at Noda City in Chiba Prefecture. The issues and possibilities of horticultural well-being activities were clarified with the participation of various actors. Through the process of activities, the workshop helped to effectively grasp the issues, such as shortage of hands and lack of funds, and to design future vision. Furthermore, specialized knowledge on horticulture and welfare is required in order to extend these activities to persons with disabilities and elderly persons. This would be possible by cooperation with welfare facilities and research institutes.
