Landscape Team
The landscape team is a group of University of Florida students who meet and train with faculty and industry professionals to develop professional skills in landscape horticulture.
Our students design and install landscapes from irrigation to annuals, study pest and plant identification, climb trees to put their arboriculture knowledge to practice, showcase sales and presentation skills, repair and operate equipment, and more.
Team members host and contribute to landscape workshops and service projects, participate in professional development and green industry events, and compete at the annual 3-day National Collegiate Landscape Competition (NCLC). Activities vary and are based on preparing members for industry careers and the NCLC competitive events each March.
