Horticulture is a broad field of study encompassing the production, maintenance, sales, and service of bedding, flowering, ornamental, and nursery plants and food crops. Students in Sustainable Horticulture select courses in a range of horticultural topics and design their own focus of study. They can concentrate in greenhouse management, floriculture crop production or nursery and garden center management, while also gaining general knowledge in plant science.
