I took the Professional Certificate in Horticultural Therapy and Psychology to learn more about the connection between nature and mental health. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered topics like the science behind horticultural therapy and its benefits for mental wellbeing. I gained some useful skills, like how to create a sensory garden and how to use plants to reduce stress. The course materials were okay, but sometimes I felt like they were a bit too theoretical. However, the discussions with my classmates were really helpful, and we shared some great ideas and resources. Overall, I'm glad I took the course, and I think it's a good starting point for anyone interested in this field.
