What college in Iowa has good horticulture programs?
I want to open my own plant nursery business, so I want to take horticulture and a business class. I am planning on attending Kirkwood for Landscape horticulture studies because it has more of what I want to study than their other agriculture classes that include farm equipment and other farm things (which I don't need to learn about for what I want to do). I know that Kirkwood and Iowa State have good horticulture programs, but I was wondering if any other colleges offer any horticulture programs. #horticulture #plants #business #college #programs

The community college in Des Moines has some programs: https://www.dmacc.edu/programs/horticulture/Pages/welcome.aspx
If it's far from where you live maybe you could take some online courses. There is also Ellsworth Community College: https://ecc.iavalley.edu/academic/agriculture-animals-food-natural-resources/horticulture/
Have you looked at the Public Horticulture program at Iowa State? I know you already mentioned that school. Perhaps you could just take some classes and not the whole program if there are courses specific to your interest. Here is the website: https://www.hort.iastate.edu/
Hope this helps!
