Nature of Work: Horticulture is concerned with those plants
whose cultivation brings rewards, whether in the form of profits or
personal pleasure. Garden crops traditionally include fruits,
vegetables, and all the plants grown for ornamental purposes, as
well as medicinal plants. The aim of horticulture practice is to
produce a healthy, growing plant. In order to understand the
biological rationale behind these practices the student will gain
knowledge of plant relationships, structure, growth, development,
and reproduction. The primary purpose of this program is to examine
the scientific concepts on which horticulture is based and develop a
responsible ecological approach to plant production.
