This program provides students with knowledge and hands-on experience to help them enter the workforce or continue on to college.  We provide a foundation in Plant and Horticultural Sciences, Greenhouse and Nursery Management, Landscape Systems Management, and Turf Science and Management, Landscape Hardscapes, and an Agriculture and Environmental Systems Capstone Project.  We also introduce students to Urban Forestry and  Landscape Systems Management, Floral Design and Marketing.  Students earn a science credit by taking this course (which counts towards an Honors Diploma) and are exempt from a fine arts credit and personal finance credit if they complete the Horticulture program.
