Horticulture

Horticulturists select, handle and utilize trees, shrubs and ornamental plants and turf grass for the design, development and maintenance of public and private landscaping spaces. They prepare soil and plants, and cultivate, prune and irrigate to maintain plant vigour.

Horticulturists also control plant pests utilizing appropriate integrated pest management techniques. Horticulturists may grow and market crops in both nursery and/or greenhouse environments, where they prepare plants for distribution.
