Answer
There is HORTICULTURAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION, www.ahta.org, that may be of some help to you. PHS has programs that demonstrate building dish gardens and terrariums. As a member you have access to the program announcements.
Coincidently, Liberty Bell Gesneriad Society has a program on dish gardens in May. I will send you the program announcement is a separate e-mail.
