Established more than 60 years ago, the Horticulture Program
at College of San Mateo (CSM) is well-equipped with spacious work and lecture
rooms, as well as a 6,000 square-foot greenhouse, a shade house and assorted
power equipment for hands-on learning.
Floristry was added to CSM’s Horticulture Program in the mid-1970s, bringing an
artistic and practical dimension to the curriculum. The Floristry Program has
prospered for 30 years, continually adding new classes such as Retail
Floristry, Plant Identification, Ikebana and others, and offering a wide
variety of choices to keep pace with this vibrant industry.
We have a dedicated and diverse team of instructors. Program instructors have
extensive backgrounds in science and art of horticulture and floristry, as well
as considerable industry and field experience. Our program emphasizes both the
theoretical and practical sides of horticulture and floristry in the classroom.
Classes are offered evenings as a service to working adults in the industry.
In 2011, horticulture classes are on hiatus, pending re-introduction of a new curriculum in Spring of 2012. Floristry classes will be offered during this time.
