2024 CONFERENCE
Registration for the 2024 Conference is now open!
This year, we are excited to focus on the core pillars of Horticultural Therapy, getting back to the “heartwood” and ensuring we have a solid understanding of the profession. After Digging Deeper in 2023, we found so much more to explore and celebrate in the foundations of Horticultural Therapy as both a profession and a practice. For this year’s conference we look inward to the core of what Horticultural Therapy is, along with the pillars and foundations that provide the strength for Horticultural Therapy to flourish. We aim to present a conference highlighting some of the fundamental pillars of what Horticultural Therapy is all about, with the people and programs instrumental to the field of HT both in Canada and Internationally.
