You'll enjoy rigorous training in the sciences and close interaction with faculty mentors and classmates at ASU's Polytechnic campus, a living-learning arboretum. You'll find greenhouses, a community garden, lots of field excursions and opportunities to learn technologies and best practices for a more sustainable world!

The sustainable horticulture concentration is designed for students who want theory and practical experiences in the unique aspects of the culture of plants in an urban desert environment. Students acquire the skills to produce, design and care for ornamental and edible plantscapes using sustainable technologies.

Students are prepared for a range of horticulture careers in the private and public sectors, including in nursery plant production, landscape design and culture as well as local food production and organic urban farming.
