Hello...I'm presently taking a course on Hort Therapy at the NYBG - I'm moving to Florida this summer and I can't seem to find a facility in the Ft. Lauderdale area that has anything that resembles this course. Anyone out there know of a facility that has this course available? I'm surfing the net and not coming up with too much in Florida. HELP!

I'm interested in what you are learning in NYBG. I'm not coming up with a search engine right now or I would help you and look too. What are you finding that has interest you as a future HT? What kind of a work do you think you'll be doing in FL if that's why you are moving there. I work as a landscaper but have time slots where I use HT. It may only be listening to someone talk about their Amaryllis for half an hour but that's important. In the next few weeks I'll be checking out a few programs in the NJ area. Have you been anywhere that has impressed you? I'm interested in networking with you. We're having HT symposium in April where I work that's geared towards senior facilities. If I don't hear back from you good luck. It's a very rewarding.

The American Horticultural Therapy Association has a website with a listing of educational facilities... they don't list anything in Florida, but you could write to them & ask if they know of a school in FL...

Deb - I'm interested in learning more about your upcoming symposium. I live in CT and am currently evaluating Hort Therapy courses/certification and, of course, am trying to learn all I can about it and potential career options. Any info you have would be very helpful.
