Therapeutic Horticulture, Online Courses & Professional Network

“The Root in Nature team shared a truly dynamic approach to Nature at work and incorporating it into your life. The science behind the recommendations were on point, very relevant to today's climate. I highly recommend the team and their presentations! I'll be signing up for their programs in the future.”

"Sarah creates a warm, welcoming environment for all residents, regardless of their prior gardening experience. She engages residents through the entire process of selecting, growing and using plants in the most creative projects that reflect all seasons and special occasions throughout the year. To step into one of Sarah’s sessions is to witness the subtleties of recreation therapy under the guise of a casual coming together of friends who share an interest in plants."

“My favourite part of the program was collecting nature items and making mandalas out of them. It was peaceful and easy to engage in as it allowed for creativity without any kind of artistic or crafting abilities. The instructor was very well versed in nature and had good answers for questions and some pretty cool fun facts.”

“I want to thank you so much for getting Dad into gardening. He loved his gardens over the years, mostly vegetables, and just loves to get his hands dirty. I was always worried about Dad at the Perley because other than his exercise classes, he didn’t join anything, even though he was once quite gregarious. Definitely keep his garden pots going.... it will give him a spark he needs."

“Sarah is a truly compassionate, caring and genuine individual. She demonstrates respect towards the feelings of others and would also demonstrate this respect in sensitive situations surrounding privacy or confidentiality. I am certain her kind nature would greatly benefit those clients who are fortunate enough to work with her. I recommend her to any family member or friend, especially a person who is in need of special care.”
