NC State Therapeutic Horticulture and the North Carolina Botanical Garden are excited to announce our 2027 Online Therapeutic Horticulture course schedule! All of our six-week courses are completely online and accessible to busy professionals, volunteers, and students each week at a time convenient to each learner. Completing all four courses results in earning our freestanding Certificate in Therapeutic Horticulture. Join over 800 students from 45 states and 40 different countries to turn your interest in therapeutic horticulture into proficiency!

Our Introduction to Therapeutic Horticulture has no prerequisite except your interest. After TH1, you are eligible to move on to TH2 and/or TH3, and with those three courses, you're qualified to take TH4 and earn your certificate.

Several of these courses are already filling quickly-- secure your seat today, or pass this along to someone who is interested! All linked courses below are open NOW for registration:

We are pleased to note that our prices have not changed for 2027! All who register up to three weeks ahead of course opening dates receive a $10 Early Bird discount automatically, and there are discounts available for Extension professionals and Extension Master Gardener volunteers everywhere, as well as discounts for members and volunteers with JC Raulston Arboretum and the NC Botanical Garden. Each course has an optional pre-course week which opens one week prior to the start date for learners to meet and become familiar with the online learning environment.

Courses tend to fill quickly, so be sure to reserve your seat and get ready to add therapeutic horticulture to your skills in 2027!
