Deepening the Roots
You’ve built a strong foundation in therapeutic horticulture and seen the impact firsthand — now you’re ready to refine your skills, expand your reach, and stay at the forefront of the field. This path is for experienced practitioners who want to grow deeper, not just broader. Whether you’re exploring advanced training, looking to mentor others, or seeking a like-minded professional community, you’re in the right place.
Advancing Skills in Therapeutic Horticulture
You’ve built a solid foundation in therapeutic horticulture. You’ve seen the transformation in your clients, your programs, and yourself. Now you’re ready for more – not just more content, but deeper insight, advanced facilitation skills, and next-level confidence.
Even if you’ve earned a TH or HT certificate through another program, you understand that one size never fits all in this work. The strength of our field lies in its rich diversity of voices and approaches. We invite you to continue growing by exploring new perspectives, refining your practice, and adding your experience to the evolving conversation.
At Root in Nature, we offer education and support in therapeutic horticulture, not clinical horticultural therapy. That said, the GrowTH Network is designed to be a welcoming and valuable resource for both TH and HT practitioners, because regardless of title or setting, we share common ground in our values, goals, activities, and the importance of community.
Advancing Skills in Therapeutic Horticulture is our most in-depth training, designed specifically for practitioners with real-world experience who want to strengthen their approach and broaden their capacity to serve.

- Trauma-informed facilitation to support safety, adaptability, and client dignity
