Horticulture is the study of the biology, improvement, production and utilization of fruits, vegetables, flowers, medicinals, ornamental crops, trees, shrubs and turf grass grown under field and greenhouse conditions. It is the most diverse of agricultural industries, involving both art and science with career opportunities from greenhouse and golf course management, food production and landscaping to research and education and beyond.
Production and utilization of horticultural crops and ornamental plants represent an opportunity for expansion and diversification of Canada's agriculture sector. You will learn how to:
- design and maintain an urban forest, a community garden or a new golf course
- manage a greenhouse
- beautify the environment – both indoors and out – while also working to reduce energy use and pollution and help to grow food crops sustainably
- develop and demonstrate new energy efficient and ecologically sound means of growing greenhouse crops through a cold prairie winter
- introduce new high-value crops which can be processed to add further value and help developing countries
