Explore the growing field of horticultural therapy (HT) in an exciting inter-disciplinary program. Courses will appeal to teachers, healthcare professionals, horticulturists, landscape designers and others wishing to learn more about connecting people and plants; or to those who wish to explore career opportunities in horticultural therapy and therapeutic horticulture. Four courses, each of which can be taken independently, provide up to 130 hours of lively classroom instruction in a variety of local facilities and gardens supplemented by independent study projects that foster a connection with local therapeutic horticulture (TH) and gardening programs. The teaching team is led by Ann Kent HTM, a registered horticultural therapist, who works in the Vancouver area and teaches in both Vancouver and Nanaimo. Completion of the four courses in the 2010 program is recognized for 2.0 points toward professional registration with the CHTA. A statement of completion is provided for each separate course or module. Ann is a professional member of the CHTA and all future HT courses instructed by Ann will abide by the CHTA's new accreditation guidelines. The most recent rotation of the HT Certificate Professional Development Program commenced in September, 2009. Class size is limited to 12, early application is advised as courses often sell out. For more detailed information about courses or for registration information, contact Ann at ann@catkingardens.ca For a short summary of the courses in the HTC Certificate and upcoming dates in both Vancouver and Nanaimo, please download the PDF file below.
