field of study encompassing the production, maintenance, sales, and service
of bedding, flowering, ornamental, and nursery plants and food crops.
This major has three distinct concentrations. Floriculture Crop Production
stresses production. Retail Floral Design emphasizes the principles and
practices which prepare students for the successful operation of
a retail floral business by concentrating on design, handling of plants,
