The experimental group performed horticultural activities in five sessions (90 minutes per sessions) and the control group performed routine activities. After horticultural activities, the participants were asked to answer the questionnaires in post-test stage. The instruments were two questionnaires: Distress Tolerance Questionnaire, Simmons and Gahr (DTS) (2005), Digit memory subscale of Wechsler Memory Scale (Form A) Blauer (1939).Data analysis was performed at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) using SPSS-16.

The results showed that horticultural activities are effective on distress tolerance (tolerating emotional distress, being absorbed by negative emotions, mentally estimating distress, and adjusting efforts to relieve distress) of the older adults(p<0.05) but horticultural activities were not effective on digit memory (direct and inverse digits) of the older adults(p>0.05). Conclusion: In sum it can be concluded that horticultural activities can be used as the effective methods to improving the distress tolerance (being absorbed by negative emotions and mentally estimating distress) in the older adults.
