College Diploma - Landscape Technician (01521)

Humber’s Landscape Technician diploma program is based on the principles of sustainability, conservation and environmental sensitivity. Students will 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 centred 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. Humber's construction lab is housed in a weather-protected 8,000-square-foot facility which allows students to build full-scale structures such as decks, gazebos and retaining walls. Humber's computer labs use the latest in computer-aided design (CAD) software which enables students to prepare professional construction documents.
