If you love to work with your hands, and you’ve ever wondered how a perfectly manicured golf-course or a well-landscaped backyard was created and maintained, a career in horticulture might be right for you.

Piedmont Tech’s Horticulture Technology program will give you the tools you need to succeed in one of South Carolina’s largest industries. With the support of a diverse group of instructors, you’ll get hands-on experience through our campus greenhouse complex, the Landscapes for Learning project and an extensive co-op program. And with our extensive transfer agreements with Clemson University, you can be sure that your education here creates a foundation for success.
