Professional Registration

The Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association registers horticultural therapists through a Voluntary Professional Registration process.

The registration process is explained in a Sample Registration Form which you may access by clicking here.


Communication is via a bimonthly newsletter and this web site.

Workshops and conferences are organized - see the Workshop pages for details. We have set up a national registration procedure, and are in the process of establishing HT courses at a number of educational institutions.

Our web site has recently been re-designed - we hope you find it useful.

Be sure to look at our Education information and Photo Gallery.
