Horticultural Therapists

Become involved in gardening by doing work in your own garden, a community garden, or the local parks department.

Volunteer at a senior home or health care facility and offer to start a horticultural therapy program with the patients.

Find a part-time job at a florist or a nursery to gain experience in planting and maintaining flowers and plants.

Read the Journal of Therapeutic Horticulture (https://www.ahta.org/the-journal-of-therapeutic-horticulture) to learn more about the field.
