Landscape Horticulture

If you’ve got a green thumb and keen design sense and would love a professional outlet for your talents, consider a landscaping career. Our Landscape Horticulture program can help prepare you for a career as a gardener, technician, supervisor, manager, or business owner in a wholesale or retail nursery, a florist, landscape design and construction operation, or a landscape management company. It can also prepare you for a career with local, state, and federal government agencies involved in the technical phases of the landscape horticulture industry.

Our program will educate you on how to design, install, and maintain landscapes, irrigation systems, and greenhouses. Experienced instructors will teach you about common landscape plants, as well as plant growth and their response to different soils, climate, sun exposure levels, water availability, nutrients, and pests. You’ll also learn about various aspects of running a landscape business, including the techniques and tools common to the industry.
