A
professional horticulturist deals with plant materials, their
growth, development, propagation, marketing, and use. The
horticulturist works with environmental conditions and pest
problems of ornamental plants and their management. The two
major specialty areas are landscape horticulture and
floriculture. A background in plant maintenance, knowledge of
growing environments and structures, as well as retail and
marketing skills, is vital. Horticulturists are employed by
florists, greenhouses and garden centers, nurseries, retail
sales outlets, landscape contractors, design and construction
firms, and lawn care companies. Not all courses in this
program transfer to all colleges. Students planning to
transfer should see an academic advisor or counselor before
enrolling in any course. |
