It Takes a Garden

While it’s tempting to focus on the benefits of joining AHTA, you owe it to yourself and to your profession to consider what you can give, as well. Your membership supports AHTA’s mission to educate others about horticultural therapy and to broaden the availability of horticultural therapy programs and services.

AHTA has an ambitious slate of goals and initiatives in progress to advance the field. For these to succeed, for us to collectively improve and ensure a solid and secure future for all horticultural therapy professionals, AHTA needs YOU to share your ideas, your experiences, your creativity, and your energy. It takes many plants to make a garden!

AHTA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations to AHTA are tax-deductible.
