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 Bonsai
- 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 Lion
Floral Shop or engaging in residential and commercial
landscape planning and planting.
