Graduates enter a wide array of careers in the horticultural, landscape, agronomic, specialty crop fruit and vegetable industries, golf course and sports turfgrass management, government, research and development, consulting, and postbaccalaureate education. The department is home to AGRIscapes Center with over 46,000 square feet of greenhouse space supporting research and student activities in nursery production, hydroponics, specialty crops, and controlled environment agriculture. An aquaponics system comprises two grow beds, each 8x30 ft, and three 450-gallon fish tanks stocked with Mozambique tilapia, producing basil and lettuce. Modular hydroponic systems include, but are not limited to, nutrient film technique (NFT), Dutch bucket, ebb and flow, and static methods. The greenhouse complex includes 2,247 square feet of certified organic nursery production, and two 40-foot-long shipping containers modified for indoor vertical agriculture are installed in the headhouse. Department facilities and resources include Spadra Educational Farm, located one-half mile from campus with 150 acres of farmland, including a 10-acre block used for certified organic production, a citrus grove, areas for field agriculture, vegetable production, and field and forage crops. Additional cropping is interspersed on campus, including three vineyards, a historical citrus block, a large coffee varietal trial, avocados, and numerous subtropical horticultural plantings.
