  • Fifteen weeks of in-person classroom instruction and quizzes by university and industry professionals, providing a broad overview of topics that will help students establish a diverse base of horticulture knowledge

  • Your own personal 230-page resource manual

  • Opportunities to meet new people, network, and share ideas and information with fellow students
