I am completing a rigorous two year horticulture diploma program at Longwood Gardens. For those interested, I am posting a bit more information about the academic and professional expectations of the program, giving a clearer picture of the expertise I am accumulating while completing the 77 credits in class and working in the gardens.
Below is a capture of the courses I am taking in this program. The Continuing Education elective courses I have taken or will be taking soon are Small Flowering Trees, Shade Perennials, Annuals I, Deciduous Trees, Hardy Spring and Fall Bulbs, Deciduous Flowering Shrubs I, Edible Plants and Perennials I. A PDF of the full catalog for the program with detailed course descriptions is available by emailing edu-studies (at) longwoodgardens (dot) org.
