Interiorscaping

Catalog description

This course provides an understanding and use of plants in interior environments from home decor (plant parenting) to commercial interiorscaping businesses. Students learn the names, behaviors, and characteristics of plants that are typically used indoors, which are indigenous to tropical climates. They also learn how to help them acclimatize and survive where the light, soil, water, and nutrients are adjusted to sustainably maintain their health and beauty in conditions less than ideal for their optimum growth. Students will also learn and apply design principles using these plants in interior spaces.
