Upon successful completion of this course students will have the ability to identify over 200 plant species common to Florida’s horticulture industry and have the skills necessary to identify many more. Plants covered will include trees, shrubs, palms, and palm-like plants, turf grasses, ornamental grasses, herbaceous perennials, groundcovers, vines, foliage, and bedding plants. The focus will be on plants that complete the Florida Nursery, Grower and Landscape Association’s Central Florida Plant List as found in the Florida Certified Horticulture Professional (FCHP) Manual. Other plants may be added at the discretion of the instructor. Note: This course, in combination with the Introduction to Horticulture course, will prepare students to take the Florida Nursery, Grower and Landscape Association’s Florida Certified Horticulture Professional certification examination
