Program Details
Landscape Horticulture Technician
Western Technical College
A combination of creativity and technical knowledge of plants and soils, along with a desire to work outdoors, means you can find employment in a number of fields, including landscape design, landscape construction, and landscape maintenance. You could find yourself working in a greenhouses or garden center, a golf course, an outdoor sporting venue, or on a park or maintenance crew. You might even choose to go into business for yourself.
The nature of the Landscape Horticulture program demands that much of the learning takes place in the field and in Western s on-campus Horticulture Education Center. You ll learn to evaluate landscape construction systems, determine suitability of plants for placement, understand turf management, identify common landscape pests, and be able to identify soils and correct soil deficiencies, all with principles of sustainability in mind. Additionally, you will gain experience in our state of the art greenhouse facility.
