• Abstract: Activities related to plants, such as wheat field tourism, agricultural variety shows, and farm-based educational programs, have gained popularity among undergraduate students. Some graduates choose to become “new farmers” and contribute to rural revitalization after graduation. Horticultural therapy is a non-pharmacological therapeutic approach that has developed independently from the concept of horticulture. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of horticultural therapy in alleviating stress among undergraduate students. Methods: A total of 66 undergraduate students were recruited voluntarily and randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received a 5-week horticultural therapy intervention, consisting of one session per week, each lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. The control group did not receive any intervention. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used for pre-test and post-test assessments. Results: Prior to the intervention, there were no significant differences in stress levels between the experimental and control groups. After the intervention, the experimental group’s stress levels were significantly lower than those of the control group. Two weeks after the intervention, the experimental group continued to show significantly lower stress levels compared to the control group. Conclusion: Horticultural therapy can effectively reduce psychological stress among undergraduate students. 麦田旅游、种地综艺和农耕研学等有植物有关的活动受到本科学生们的追捧。部分本科毕业生选择成为“新农人”，投身乡村振兴。园艺治疗是在园艺概念基础上发展并独立出来的一种非药物治疗方式。目的：验证园艺治疗对缓解本科大学生压力的干预效果。方法：招募66名本科大学生自愿参与，将其随机分配到试验组和对照组。试验组接受为期5周的连续性园艺治疗干预，每周1次，每次1～1.5小时。对照组不实施干预。采用感知压力量表（perceivedstressscale，PSS）进行前测和后测。结果：干预前，试验组和对照组压力水平没有显著差异；干预后，试验组的压力水平显著低于对照组；干预两周后，试验组的压力水平显著低于对照组。结论：园艺治疗可有效缓解本科大学生的心理压力。
