Nursery Management

Nursery Management is an ideal field for people with a “green thumb”.  Students work in a two-acre nursery area of the COS farm, propagating plants in the three large greenhouses, growing and maintaining house or garden plants, and learning to package them attractively for sale to retail and wholesale industries.  Job opportunities in this field include nursery manager, owner and salesperson, grower production foreman, turf specialist, landscape estimator, and nurseryman.  Many of these required courses will transfer to universities.
