Description

The Floriculture certificate provides entry-level skills for those interested in employment or a career in the field. The curriculum provides basic principles of design used in commercial and natural settings, commercial production, marketing and post-harvest care. The certificate articulates well into an associate of science degree or the bachelor's degree in horticulture.
