Want to see a plant grow from a cutting to a flower in just a few weeks? Want to spend your days in a warm, sunlit, tropical environment all year long? Want to provide people with "food for their souls" through the beauty and enjoyment of flowers? Then you might want to work in the commercial greenhouse industry, managing a greenhouse and growing floral crops!

HORT 428 can help give you the knowledge and information needed for a career in management of commercial greenhouses, conservatories and institutional greenhouses. You can expect to learn about greenhouse construction, heating, and cooling as well as how environmental factors effect plant growth. You will also learn about pests and diseases associated with growing greenhouse crops and the management of a greenhouse business.
