The internship program at Earthtones (EMTs) is designed to provide a background in the theory and

application of horticultural therapy as a treatment modality for diverse populations of all ages,

backgrounds, and abilities. The program provides an opportunity for interns to explore therapeutic

styles, skills, and values, gaining experience in both the therapeutic aspect as well as the horticultural

aspects of the professional horticultural therapist. In addition, interns will develop professional

relationships within the community and on a consistent and collaborative basis with music therapy

interns and Board Certiced Music Therapists. The Earthtones internship model is aligned with our

music therapy internship and requires 700 hours of direct, non-direct, and horticultural services. All

EMTs internships (music and horticultural therapy) begin in either July or January. Please contact

Genevieve Layman, HTR for in-depth details and application.


Type of Facility/ Population: Music and horticultural therapy agency; Outreach site providing services to

adults with DD, mental health issues, assisted living, memory care, and others.
