Environmental Horticulture
Students learn plant identification, plant propagation, sustainable landscape practices, soil science, practical pruning and botanical concepts. Through time spent in practical hands-on training, students will learn to propagate, seed, transplant, design landscape plans, and maintain a variety of plants. Students will participate in an industry based training experience. Graduates find jobs with nurseries, greenhouses, landscape firms, garden centers, and park departments. The classroom setting includes individual and small group instruction with a hands-on focus of horticultural practices. The program emphasizes a sustainable approach to horticultural principles. A diverse population of students enjoys working in a 1200 sq. ft. state-of-the-art growing facility.
