Designing a Presentation on Therapeutic Horticulture for Organizational Wellness

The objective of this project is to develop an evidence-informed 50-minute presentation titled "Aligning Therapeutic Horticulture Programs with Organizational Wellness Objectives". The presentation will clearly communicate how therapeutic horticulture programs can align with organizational wellness goals across healthcare, senior living, and community settings.

Collaborate to refine key messaging and ensure the presentation is clear, accessible, and persuasive to non-technical audiences (e.g., executives and wellness directors). Provide copywriting support to ensure tone and structure are engaging and professional. Deliverables: A polished slide deck presentation (Canva) using our template (minimal design work required) with speaker notes.
