Third, employment prospects.
Garden plants and ornamental horticulture have good employment prospects. With the acceleration of urbanization, the development of agricultural modernization and the improvement of people's living standards, the production of garden plants is an important part of the national economy, and the greening and beautification of urban ecology, garden landscape and urban and rural environment is the top priority of national construction. Therefore, landscape architecture is a career that benefits mankind and has unlimited prospects. Postgraduates majoring in horticulture, with the ability of horticultural plant production, technology development and popularization, and economic management of horticultural enterprises, will undoubtedly become enviable sought-after talents in the job market.
