Horticulture & Forest Science

New for the 2025-26 school year!

Students will learn how to establish, maintain, and manage horticultural enterprises. The class environment is hands-on and includes classroom and laboratory activities, as well as supervised agricultural experiences in the Grayson Tech greenhouse. A career in horticulture and forest science offers a variety of job opportunities in the fields of education, research, golf and sports turf, landscape design, parks and gardens, public service, production management, and sales and marketing. Students will also participate in FFA (Future Farmers of America) student organization activities, which help develop skills like public speaking, teamwork, and leadership. This course embeds a fourth science requirement for graduation and Board of Regents admission requirements for college.
