Landscape Construction & Sustainable Horticulture

Program Description
For students who love the outdoors and have a passion for shaping the environment, the Landscape Construction & Sustainable Horticulture program offers a hands-on path to mastering the art and science of green spaces. From landscape maintenance and turfgrass care to greenhouse operations and floral design, students gain experience in the skills that keep communities beautiful and sustainable.
The journey begins with learning the fundamentals of tool use, job site operations, and plant science.
