(Updated: Jan. 14, 2025, 8:51 a.m.)
A man trims a topiary bush.
Mark your calendars and plan to join Carolinas Horticultural Therapy Network on January 23, 2025 at 5:00pm for a don't-miss presentation by one of CHTN's own members, Mike Gibson.
If you have seen the documentary A Man Named Pearl, Mike is the artist that revived Pearl Fryar's gardens in Bishopville, South Carolina.  Mike has completed the NC State/NC Botanical Gardens Online Certificate in Therapeutic Horticulture program and is an emerging leader in our field. He's also featured in Amy Stewart's latest book, The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, as well as many other media outlets who are realizing how essential our connection to nature is for our well-being. Mike is already doing great work in therapeutic horticulture, and he has big plans.


Registration for this inspiring event is FREE for CHTN members and $15 for guests. Please use this REGISTRATION LINK to reserve your online seat before January 20 to learn more about Mike's life and his work-- you will be so glad you did!
