The horticulture industry is experiencing strong growth, with more than 50,000 job openings expected in nurseries and gardens across Australia over the next five years. An increased focus from both the public and private sector on horticultural biodiversity and sustainability is helping to drive this growth.
We offer a range of horticulture courses in specialisations including landscaping, production nursery, turf management, parks and gardens, and conservation and land management. Studying horticulture can set you on the path to becoming a greenkeeper, landscaper or park ranger as well as opening up a range of generalist horticulture roles in nurseries, parks, and gardens.
