The horticulture program
helps prepare students for careers in nurseries, greenhouses,
florist shops, landscaping, and other related businesses. Students
also learn about plant care, which carries over to when they own a
home. Students will learn about various plants, such as trees and
flowers, grown both indoors and out.
Activities include:
- Conducting seed and plant
experiments
- Identifying native plants & popular
houseplants
- Learning greenhouse operations
- Constructing a holiday wreath or candle
arrangement
- Planning a year round vegetable
garden
- Understanding applying integrated pest
management concepts
- Learning how to raise your
own houseplant
- Applying design principles to floral or
landscape design projects.
- Growing flowering plants and vegetables that you
can take home and plant.
- Practicing customer service skills in the floral
shop and/or at the annual plant sale.
Advanced students gain knowledge, skills, and
experience, by managing the greenhouse/nursery production areas,
running the Annual Plant Sale and Lion Floral Shop or engaging in
residential and commercial landscape planning and planting.
