Ornamental Horticulture Expand your knowledge of horticulture through Longwood’s Certificate of Merit in Ornamental Horticulture. The program is self-paced, enabling students to pursue the full certificate course series, or simply select an individual 6-week or 3-week class of interest. Students in the Certificate of Merit program can earn sequential, multiple Certificates of Merit in Ornamental Horticulture (Level I, II, III). Upon completion of each certificate level, students will learn the identifying characteristics, habits, and growing information for 300 plants. Each certificate is earned consecutively and is based on meeting the requirements listed on the following page. Required courses (to ensure a base level of knowledge) along with electives in plant sciences, plant identification, and horticultural techniques are available for a tailor-made horticulture learning experience.
