2016 Ottawa Home and Garden Show

The Horticultural Industries program at Algonquin College is designed for individuals who are interested in landscape design from conception to implementation. This two-year Ontario College Diploma program delivered in a compressed format over 16 months incorporates key aspects of the evolving horticultural industries including sustainable urban agriculture, green roof and living wall technology, nursery production and management and urban and rural landscape design, installation and maintenance. The program includes one mandatory cooperative education (Co-op) Work Term enabling students to gain valuable work experience and networks within industry.

Garden description
This garden design was created by and named after the Horticultural Industries Class of 2015, as part of a term project for a group of fourth semester landscape design students. A design competition was held, presentations were given, and selections were made by their peers and several faculty members. The final result is a combination of different highlights from several designs that have merged to create a thoughtful yet fun space. The Garden has been constructed by the second semester Landscape Construction class as a class project under the supervision of several faculty. The project was constructed using mostly locally purchased and/or donated product.
