Applied skills

We are strong believers that the best way to learn is through your hands. Whether it is pruning and planting, constructing irrigation systems and garden walls, or designing landscapes, LAT classes focus on applied skills learned through hands-on activities and labs throughout the program.

Experience and dedication
