Introduction to Therapeutic Horticulture  welcomes learners into the fall online class August 26 – October 14, 2024 in partnership with the North Carolina Botanical Garden. No prerequisites are required, and learners can complete the materials at their own pace. This course is the prerequisite for other courses in this series, and is a thorough introduction to the practice.

In Introduction to Therapeutic Horticulture, you will learn about the history of this work from ancient times to the present, the science that proves its effectiveness, and the many populations who continue to benefit from skilled practitioners connecting people and plants in creative ways. Later courses cover even more specific topics about the practice, and form a program that offers a certificate in therapeutic horticulture in collaboration with North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina.

Sally Haskett, the instructor, is a Registered Horticulture Therapist and former NC Botanical Garden Horticulture Therapy program director. Both the course and the instructor have received OUTSTANDING reviews from hundreds of students.
