Landscape Horticulture
As human society exerts an ever-greater influence on the natural world, horticulturists who are sensitive to environmental, aesthetic, and land-use issues serve an important and unique societal function. In the B.S. Landscape Horticulture program students study, develop, and practice ways to bring together nature and culture so that both may flourish. Drawing on principles of plant science, ecological and social systems, sustainability, and design, students will develop the necessary knowledge and skills to bring trees, shrubs, flowers, crops, and other plants into harmony with human, animal, and physical components of the environment.
The Landscape Horticulture program is distinctly unique because its focus has an emphasis on sustainability. Students will learn to apply knowledge of ecological systems and principles of sustainability to built environments. As human society exerts an ever-greater influence on the natural world, horticulturists who are sensitive to environmental, aesthetic, and land-use issues serve an important and unique societal function.
