If you are thinking about hiring a therapeutic horticulture (TH) facilitator, the following job descriptions may be helpful models.
Some sites have a dedicated staff therapeutic horticulturist, but it's also common to hire a facilitator to come to your organization, facility, or location to plan and facilitate regular TH sessions with participants.
Qualified candidates will be able to demonstrate TH experience as well as appropriate education in horticulture, human services, and therapeutic horticulture theory and practice. In the United States, several programs award certificates in therapeutic horticulture to facilitators who have successfully completed training in this therapeutic modality. Additionally, if your site serves a vulnerable special population, ideal candidates will have experience and knowledge in working with this population using plants and plant-based activities.
Therapeutic horticulture benefits people of all ages, abilities, and locations, and hiring a qualified therapeutic horticulturist to facilitate your program gives everyone the best start in growing wellness at your site!
