Description
Horticulture is an intensive subset of agriculture that deals with ornamental plants, fruits, vegetables, medicinal plants, and hemp. Horticulturists need to understand how to identify, propagate, grow, install and maintain plants. They also focus on environmental concerns and pest problems associated with plants and the landscape. The SUNY Niagara Horticulture program is geared to help both the novice and the more experienced “plant person” gain the education and training necessary to obtain employment or advance their careers in the industry. Graduates of the program are prepared for careers as landscape designers, landscape installation crew leaders, diagnosticians, floral designers, nursery salespeople, garden center managers, greenhouse production assistants, turf managers, grounds people, cannabis growers, bud tenders, and more. The field of horticulture is rapidly expanding and offers numerous career opportunities both locally and nationally.
