Plant Science

Do you love working outdoors and working with plants?  Have you considered a job in landscape or plant science?

Plant Science may be a program of interest to you.  Our Plant Science students learn all about plant science, plant identification, crop production, and how plants are used for landscaping, design, and profit.  They also have the chance to learn about the natural resources and environment in Colorado.  Students love to work in our top-of-the-line greenhouse and participate in our yearly plant sales. 

WHS Courses:

  • Intro to Agriculture 
  • Plant Science & Greenhouse Management 
  • Landscape Design, Construction & Maintenance 
  • Floriculture

Certifications:

  • Students may earn the Landscape Technician credential from the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado and BASF Plant Science credential through this pathway.

Plant Science Student Organization - FFA
