Overview

Humber’s Landscape Technician diploma program is based on the principles of sustainability, conservation and environmental sensitivity. You’ll learn about landscape design and development, site construction, general horticulture, grounds maintenance, and related technologies through a combination of in-class studies and hands-on landscape training.

At Humber, we have exceptional facilities for landscape education. The Humber Arboretum, for example, is a 250-acre botanical garden centered on the west branch of the Humber River, surrounding Humber’s North Campus. It includes ornamental, woodland and wildlife gardens serving as a unique living classroom for plant studies, construction, arboricultural and horticultural skills. Our construction lab is housed in a weather-protected facility which allows you to potentially build full-scale structures such as decks, gazebos and retaining walls. Our greenhouse provides space for students to explore plant propagation and growing systems. Our computer labs use the latest in computer-aided design (CAD) software which enables you to prepare professional construction documents.

Computer proficiency is a necessity, and computers are readily available and used extensively to complete both lab and course work. Students learn AutoCAD thoughout the design courses within the program curriculum.
