Social, Physical & Mental Wellbeing Through Therapeutic Horticulture

“As someone who has only recently discovered the practice of therapeutic horticulture as a ‘thing’, the conference provided a brilliant picture of the depth and breadth of nature based and therapeutic intervention possibilities. All the speakers were engaging and well versed in their presentation topics, providing articulate and heartfelt stories of their journeys into and practice experiences of therapeutic horticulture. I left inspired in ways I haven’t felt for a long time, and am overflowing with ideas for a therapeutic horticulture practice I aim to start in the Spring. Thank you for a wonderfully rich and very well organised conference experience.”

“I had a fantastic experience. The conference featured an excellent mix of speakers on various topics. The pre-conference bus trip visiting various programs in the region served as a great icebreaker and an opportunity to meet many people and explore the area. The lunch stop in the rainforest, with time for a walk, was therapeutic and further enhanced the opportunity to connect with others. Thank you to all involved for putting together a fantastic conference”

“I benefited so much from attending the THA24 conference and highly recommend it for connecting with enthusiastic people from a range of professional backgrounds who are creating a space for TH/HA in Australia. There is so much scope for this in our varied clinical, geographical and cultural environments. Watch this space Australia! 

“I loved the conference – the presentations, workshops and visits. I learnt so much, was inspired, moved, stimulated and I met so many interesting people from a diversity of backgrounds. Thank you”

“It was awesome to connect and network with people on the same journey coming from many places.  So much wisdom, experience and knowledge so freely shared. It was an empowering and inspiring experience.”
