Horticulture Affects, Influences All People Horticulture is that range of art, science, and practice dealing with the production, processing, and utilization of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental crops. However, today's horticulture encompasses much more than garden civilization. It is a tremendous industry composed of numerous commercial enterprises and even more numerous home gardens, orchards, lawns, and ornamental plantings. Millions of people are engaged in horticulture as a full - time, part * time, leisure - time, or amateur basis. It is a field that affects and influences all people. We live daily with horticulture. It provides a large portion of our food supply. It is a bounteous source of beauty in our homes, cities, rural landscape, parks, campuses, gardens, conservations, greenhouses, and areas of the great outdoors. It furnishes the setting for many recreational events, from picnics in the outdoor living area of a home to the tough turf of a football field and the carpet - like putting green of a golf course. All these things are horticulture. OBJECTIVES To Enable Students To develop a knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the scope and importance of ornamental horticulture in our American society. To explore the occupational opportunities and requirements found in the field of ornamental horticulture and relate them to their personal occupational interests and aptitudes. To develop a knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the principles, laws, rules, and techniques employed in nursery practice, floriculture, and landscape gardening. To develop ample and appropriate salable skills in the three areas of ornamental horticulture to the end that employment or further training would follow the completion of the course of study. Along with knowledge, skills, and good work habits there is ever present need for a proper attitude. We use every opportunity to emphasize this. Students are frequently reminded that they must be willing to devote more time than forty hours a week to their work it' they are to progress and succeed. Also they must be productive, otherwise employers cannot afford to hire them. If they are not successful as an employee, they certainly cannot establish a successful business of their own. Not all but much horticulture work is heavy and tiresome. Students need to be aware of this and be prepared to accept it. When students have gained knowledge of horticulture, developed the abilities to perform skills, formed good work habits, and acquired a proper attitude, they are ready to meet the challenges of the community, further education, or both. Ornamental horticulture is taught by S.L. Williams. Less than twenty percent ol the Nation's young people graduate from college. Yet the 1971 U.S. Office ol Education's fiscal appropriations from Congress will give 5967,880,000 to Higher Education and only 5494,196,000 to Vocational and Adult Education. Additional national and state statistics may be obtained from the booklet "Summary Data, Vocational Education, Fiscal Year 1969."
