Horticulture

One of the most rapidly growing areas in the fi eld of agriculture is the study of horticulture. This new-found interest is due in a large part to an increasing awareness on the part of the general public, as people look inwardly at a need to be closer to nature and outwardly at a world in which effi cient methods of food production and conservation of land are increasingly important. Students will be introduced to plant propagation, plant environments, plant designs, landscaping, and the soils in which plants live. (Can be taken for science credit.)
