The Landscape and Nursery Management program provides students with hands-on knowledge regarding the production, selection, use and management of landscape plants. Students can personalize their learning with specialized focus areas, such as plant identification, soil sciences, pest management, irrigation design and more. Upon completion of the program, graduates often begin successful careers in expanding horticultural industries, such as landscape design, construction and management; nursery and greenhouse management; garden center management and sales; public gardens and arboreta; and urban tree care.
