Bachelors in Gardening

A degree program in horticulture or landscape design provides the scientific and methodological foundation required in the professional gardening field. Professional gardeners may benefit from the classes and certification programs offered through local gardening organizations, botanical gardens and state university extension offices. Professional gardeners work in private and public landscapes to create, design, maintain and manage gardens. They are often employed by botanical gardens, parks, landscaping firms, garden centers, estates and private residences, and some will go into private business as a gardener for several clients.
