Horticulture

Set amid magnificently landscaped grounds, it’s easy to spot the Horticulture building and gardens. Here you will often find students, faculty and staff studying, relaxing or having lunch in this beautiful setting. OCC’s Horticulture program is an ideal fit for students who are interested in careers such as landscape design, landscape maintenance, arboriculture, interior plantscaping, pest and disease control, and nursery operation. Students hone their skills in the on-campus nursery, which has more than 10,000-square feet of greenhouse space and shade structures. Horticulture students also host three plant sales throughout the year, with all of the proceeds going back into the program and funding student scholarships and equipment.
