by taking Ornamental Horticulture courses at Brookdale Community College. Ornamental Horticulture is both an art and a science requiring the development and use of specific skills and good timing. It is gratifying and profitable to know not only what and how to plant, but also when particular jobs should be done to provide the greatest chance of success. Gardeners take pride in knowing when to fertilize, when to look for particular insect and disease problems, when to propagate, when to dig, and when to plant seeds, annuals, perennials, and woody plants. The field offers a wide variety of career opportunities and subjects to be explored by professionals and hobbyists who work well together to achieve their particular goals.
