School of Horticulture

Located on the grounds the Botanical Gardens, the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture was established in 1936 in response to a growing need for skilled gardeners to tend to Niagara Parks’ expanding parkland along the Niagara River Parkway.

Since then, the school has been growing world leaders in horticulture through a unique post-secondary experience. Students, staff and alumni with a passion for the art, science and mystery of horticulture contribute to the groundskeeping of the Botanical Gardens to welcome visitors from around the world.

Integrated Pest Management

At Niagara Parks, we’re proud of our integrated pest management approach to the maintenance of our garden collections and consciously use pest control practices with the least environmental impact. We strive to plant more disease-resistant species and remove potential for weed infestation through mechanical means. Naturally occurring biopesticides are only used in our gardens after carefully monitoring any severe threats.
