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. We rotate our classes between day, evening and weekends.
