PUBLIC HORTICULTURE CONCENTRATION             What is public horticulture?

The public horticulture concentration is intended for students interested in professional careers which promote horticulture and emphasize people and their education and enjoyment of plants. Such careers include director of a botanical garden or park; city or urban horticulturist; urban forester; extension agent, teacher, educational director, or program coordinator; professional garden writer/editor or publication manager; horticulture therapist; public garden curator; and plant collections manager.

Directed technical electives allow the student to concentrate in an area of their interest while encouraging the development of good people skills. Internship training in the area of interest is required of all students.
