2010-2011 Horticulture Course Catalog
Founded in 1940 by Laura Leggett Barnes, The Arboretum School of the Barnes Foundation offers a
comprehensive course of study in the botanical sciences, horticulture practices, garden
aesthetics, and design. Students learn and practice in the twelve-acre Arboretum, a state-of-the-art
greenhouse, and upon satisfactory completion of the three-year program receive a certificate of
achievement.
The curriculum includes classroom lectures, self-directed learning, and hands-on experiences
from which students develop into well-informed practitioners. Classes meet weekly over a 28-week period.
