Founder: Christina Mortada

As the founder of this platform, I bring a multidisciplinary background in Agricultural Engineering and Horticultural Therapy, rooted in science and driven by purpose. With over 15 years of experience across research, education, and therapeutic practice, my work bridges the gap between sustainable agriculture and the restorative power of nature. From molecular plant pathology labs to therapeutic gardens supporting individuals with special needs and those in recovery, my career has centered around the belief that nature has the power to heal, teach, and transform.

I am a full member of Therapeutic Horticulture Australia (https://tha.org.au/)  and hold a student membership with the American Horticultural Therapy Association (https://www.ahta.org/) .

Through this initiative, my goal is to make horticultural knowledge accessible, purposeful, and inclusive, creating meaningful connections between people, plants, and place.
