Our goal at the Institute is to help you do just that and much more. Through professional, interactive training, our students gain the skills and confidence to create and manage successful horticultural therapy (HT) programs. We introduce students to practicing horticultural therapists who work with special populations in different settings across the U.S. Our experienced instructors share best practices and provide the latest techniques in HT programming that inspire students to become leaders in the HT profession. Helping you combine your passion for gardening with you desire to improve lives is at the heart of our mission and the focus of all of our training and educational programs.
