Professional Horticulture Program 

Begin a career in horticulture. Learn from the experts and gain hands-on experience. 

The Professional Horticulture Program combines hands-on, immersive learning with classroom experience to train and prepare future horticulturists for successful careers. It is a life-changing, exciting, and inspiring opportunity. Since it began in 1970, almost 350 graduates have gone on to meaningful and successful careers. 

To ensure our Professional Horticulture program remains the pre-eminent program in the industry, we must regularly evaluate and evolve the program to best reflect emerging trends in education. 

Over the next six months, we will be evaluating our program and how it might evolve in the future. During this review period, we will not be accepting a new class to begin in 2025.

Please check back in mid-2025 for updates or join our mailing list to receive program and application information.
