Program overview
The College Diploma - Horticulture Technician (HTN1) (Co-op) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Horticulture at Fanshawe is production-serious: plant science, greenhouse systems, landscape horticulture and pest management with co-op inside Ontario's greenhouse belt — the largest under-glass growing region in North America. Agriculture-family employment here is not seasonal garden work; it is year-round controlled-environment industry.
Fanshawe brings big-college machinery to bear — industry advisory committees, applied-research centres and one of Ontario’s largest co-op operations — inside a city that keeps student budgets workable.
The post-2024 rules test sub-degree fields, and this program’s is CIP 01.0601 (Horticulture); confirm current alignment on the college’s official list before building plans on it.
