FLAVORS OF FLORIDA 📸🍓⭐ We had a blast connecting with so many wonderful members of the UF and Gainesville community and showing them what therapeutic horticulture is! Guest filled out a "passport" and got a stamp from each station based on the 5 senses! Participants cut propagation for hand-eye coordination, created scented herbal sachets, explored the tactile elements in making succulent pins, and even using a @plantwave to listen to the music of plants and how they interact with us! 🌱🌵👃🎶 We're so thankful to @uf.ifas Advancement Council for selecting us as the beneficiary for this year's event, and for all the attendees for voting us Best Experience! 🏆🌺 We love being a part of the UF and Gainesville community💙🌷🧡🌻 #UF #Gators #GoGators #FlavorsofFlorida #TherapeuticHorticulture #TH #Plantwave #Horticulture

Tomorrow is Gator Nation Giving Day, and we are so honored to be one of the beneficiaries! 🌱

Our alumni group, made up of past participants from so many groups, are the reason why we do what we do!

We're excited to announce ANOTHER UF Certificate in Horticultural Therapy Alumni has received their Horticultural Therapist - Registered status!

Sharrone Robinson graduated from the CHT in Spring 2025, and worked to receive her HTR in just under a year!

We're so proud of all the work you have done (and will continue to do) in this field, Sharrone! 🎉

Another alumni added to the THP ranks! 🎉🥳

Elizabeth Eubanks is the lead gardener at From the Ground Up Community Garden in Pensacola, Florida, where she does amazing work growing vegetables, hosting events, and sharing the magic of therapeutic horticulture with her community. 🌱

Congrats on your recognition! 🧡💙🐊

A huge congratulations to our own Sarah Tanke for being awarded the Alice Burlingame Humanitarian Service Award!

Sarah is one of our amazing instructors of the certificate program. While we wish she was local to Gainesville, she lives and works in Chapel Hill, NC as the Therapeutic Horticulture Community Engagement Specialist at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, working with diverse populations like adults with severe and persistent mental illness, exceptional children, and adults experiencing cognitive decline.

We love having her on our team and couldn’t think of a more deserving person for this award! 🧡
