About the
The MJC environmental horticulture program encompasses a wide selection of the horticulture industry, from nursery operations to floriculture to landscaping. There is a multitude of degrees and certificates in various aspects of environmental horticulture science offered. In addition, MJC proudly houses an operating production and retail nursery, where students experience the entire rainbow of the retail nursery experience, from seed to sale. This 34,000 square foot nursery includes a 10,000 square foot greenhouse and a 2000 square foot propagation house where plant materials for both instruction and sale are produced.
The environmental horticulture department also offers floral design classes which lead to a commercial floristry certificate. The floral design program is being revitalized under the direction of a new instructor with a strong background in design and business. The floral design curriculum offers students art history and theory, as well as a practical “hands on” approach of designing with flowers. Students have the opportunity to work with experts within the floriculture industry and gain practical experience with the many field trips and guest speakers.
