Ornamental Horticulture Technology

Ornamental Horticulture Technology continues to be one of California’s fastest growing industries.  Students learn to grow and arrange plants and flowers, preparing for work in nursery production and operations, landscape drafting, design and construction, and plant care and maintenance.  Many former COS students are now employed in ornamental horticulture and related agriculture fields as floral designers, cut flower growers, plant propagators, retail florists, production foremen, plan inspectors, pest control inspectors, and garden writers.  Many of the courses will transfer to universities.
