This degree offers students the option of pairing a horticulture degree with electives in social sciences, business, education, art and design. Creative opportunities range from planning gala events, to designing tranquil gardens, to constructing educational programs for school gardens to pursuing advanced degrees. Graduates may find themselves working in exciting environments including botanical gardens, international flower markets or upscale resorts.
