WHAT IS HORTICULTURE?

Horticulture is the art, science, and practice of cultivating and growing plants for various purposes, including food production, ornamental displays, landscaping, medicinal uses, and more. It encompasses a wide range of activities related to the cultivation, propagation, and management of plants, emphasizing their growth, health, and overall well-being.

Horticulture involves a deep understanding of plant biology, soil science, pest and disease management, irrigation techniques, and environmental factors that influence plant growth. It aims to optimize plant growth, yield, and quality through various techniques and methods, ensuring the sustainable and efficient use of resources.

WHY DO WE NEED A COURSE FOR GROWERS?

There is a shortage of qualified personnel in charge of nurseries. Owners of nurseries, production managers and growers are often capable and talented. Due to a lack of training institutions, it is difficult to acquire the necessary knowledge to enable them to manage their nurseries optimally and in a cost-effective manner. Dr Koos Henning of Florcom identified this problem and created courses to accomplish the following:

  • Provide students with the necessary knowledge
  • Assist them to apply this knowledge in practice
