Certificate in Horticultural Therapy (29 credits)


The profession of horticultural therapy employs plants, gardens, and greenhouses as tools for treating mental, physical, and social disabilities. The profession requires the integration of plant systems and culture techniques with human psychology and health. This program, which is fully accredited by the American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA), will enable students to pursue professional registration through AHTA.
