Horticulture

Horticulture is the science and art involved in the cultivation, propagation, processing and marketing of ornamental plants, flowers, turf, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Horticulture is unique among plant sciences because it not only involves science and technology, but it also incorporates art and principles of design. This curriculum introduces students to the basics of Specialty Horticulture Arts, Turf Management, Landscape Design, Floriculture, Floral Design, Forestry, and Greenhouse Operations and Management. Students create their own mold terrarium, floral arrangement, and handmade paper. They also evaluate the skills that are needed to run a greenhouse and sketch a landscape design.
