Program Overview
Do you have an interest in designing and creating outdoor spaces?
A desire to work in the growing golf course or nursery industries?
If so, the Bachelor of Technology in Environmental Horticulture

The program offers skills and training in all aspects of landscape
horticulture, allowing students to go wherever there is a need
for qualified employees and entrepreneurs.

really blossoming, as we are increasingly concerned about the

for employment future study, or a combination of both.
