Instructor: Ed Jameson

The
landscaping/greenhouse program prepares
students for careers in greenhouse
management, landscape businesses, garden
centers, nurseries and other related
areas. A commercialized greenhouse
teaches students greenhouse management
skills. Landscape design, tree and shrub
planting, pruning, plant propagation,
landscape construction and ground
maintenance skills are also developed.
Hand tools, power tools and landscape
equipment are used in this program.
Greenhouse products are sold to the
general public, providing students an
opportunity to demonstrate a variety of
technical skills, develop competencies
related to retail businesses and
practice leadership skills.
Students completing the
landscaping/greenhouse program have the
option of securing gainful employment,
continuing formal studies at the
post-secondary level or pursuing a
combination of both. The
landscaping/greenhouse program will be
articulated with several post-secondary
schools. Through these articulation
agreements tech prep students may earn
college credits while attending this
program.
