Introduction to Therapeutic Horticulture welcomes learners into the January 2025 online class January 6 – February 17, 2025 in partnership with the North Carolina Botanical Garden. This course has no prerequisites, and learners can complete the materials at their own pace during the course weeks. This course is the prerequisite for other courses in this series, and is a thorough introduction to the practice.
In this course, students explore how Therapeutic Horticulture supports human health & wellness, including physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual needs. The course structure supports vibrant engagement via discussion threads and assignment feedback. It provides a unique opportunity to research, discuss, and reflect on people/plant relationships. Suitable for anyone, including allied health professionals and other practitioners interested in learning about and integrating this unique therapeutic method into their disciplines.
Later courses cover even more specific topics about the practice, and form a program that awards learners a Certificate in Therapeutic Horticulture in collaboration with North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina.
Our instructors, Sally Haskett and Sarah Tanke, are Registered Horticulture Therapists. Sally is the former NC Botanical Garden Horticulture Therapy program director, and Sarah currently conducts outreach therapeutic horticulture initiatives for NCBG. Both the course and the instructors have received OUTSTANDING reviews from hundreds of students across North Carolina, the U.S., and 18 countries!
