HORT 1000

Herbaceous and woody plants are studied with respect to their identification, landscape value, and use. Special groups of plants to be studied include plants with fall interest, shade-loving plants, groundcovers, and vines, as well as many other plants suited to Atlantic landscapes, all of which are plants required for Landscape Industry Certification. The lab involves the study of plant families, plant morphology, use of plant keys, plant collecting, and digital herbarium specimens.
