In December 2025, I completed the four course certificate program in Horticultural Therapy via the Horticultural Therapy Institute in Denver Colorado and received my certificate! Thrilled to be starting the new chapter of designing and consulting on wellness gardens and therapeutic horticulture programs. Currently, I’m working with Dr. Vanessa Guyton, Founder and Director of Hush No More to develop a one-acre Herb Farm for Safe Haven Wellness Farm that will be used to grow calming nervine herbs like lemon balm and lavender. The Herb Farm will also be the site for a Vocational Horticultural Therapy Program for survivors, veterans, and individuals affected by addiction, PTSD, mental health challenges and trauma to gain workforce training that will develop long term independence and stability. COMING SOON: a short video on the benefits of therapeutic horticulture.
