"The Advancing Skills in Therapeutic Horticulture course was an incredibly enriching and inspiring experience, one that exceeded all of my expectations. As someone passionate about integrating nature into therapeutic practices, I found this course to be both comprehensive and practical, with the added benefit of an outstanding instructor, Katie McGillvray." (cont'd)

"Katie’s approach to teaching was exceptional. She consistently built upon ideas and concepts throughout the course, allowing us to explore both the foundational and advanced aspects of therapeutic horticulture in depth. Her ability to engage and encourage participants was truly remarkable—she created an open, supportive learning environment where ideas were freely shared and enhanced. Katie's expertise was evident in every session, and she always found ways to challenge us to think more creatively and critically about how horticulture can be used as a therapeutic tool."

"The Advancing Skills in Therapeutic Horticulture was an exceptional course filled with valuable information that supported my learning and provided me with greater knowledge of therapeutic horticulture practice, skills, activity planning, session organization and an enhanced sense of confidence in providing therapeutic horticulture activities. This course is well organized and the materials are presented in an engaging way. Katie was also very supportive in answering questions and connecting me to resources throughout the duration of the course!"

"This course has enabled me to offer more than just gardening to my residents. It has taught me how to deliver best practices in therapeutic horticulture. The knowledge that I have gained alongside the credential of CTHF, will place me in a position to promote the beautifully vibrant field of therapeutic horticulture in dementia care that is practiced in an assisted living and memory care setting."

"I am excited to be completing my Certified Therapeutic Horticulture Facilitator training offered by Root in Nature! Katie is a great instructor and the course is really well organized. I am grateful not only for the guidance of their clear code of ethics, but also that in order to stay certified & to grow into this field successfully, we need to continue the connections and the learning opportunities available within the supportive GrowTH Network."

"This course has built my confidence and knowledge base with incorporating horticulture as a modality for health and healing to a diverse population."
