Introducing THAD!

We're excited to announce the launch of THAD -- 

an open access database for Therapeutic Horticulture and Horticultural Therapy activities! 

THAD, short for Therapeutic Horticulture Activity Database, is a collaborative effort between 

Florida Horticulture for Health Network 

Nova Scotia Horticulture for Health Network 

California Horticultural Therapy Network

Mid-Atlantic Horticultural Therapy Network 

Carolinas Horticultural Therapy Network

 University of Florida Certificate in Horticultural Therapy 

Hosted by the University of Florida, the platform is accessible HERE.


THAD is searchable in three ways:

We invite and encourage contributions to THAD from our growing community of practitioners and enthusiasts. Your input will play a crucial role in expanding and diversifying the content, making THAD a dynamic and comprehensive resource for everyone interested in Therapeutic Horticulture and Horticultural Therapy.  As more individuals contribute, THAD will become an increasingly valuable resource for the field.


  Explore THAD and let the journey of shared knowledge and growth begin!
