Become a Leader in Public Horticulture

Become a Leader in Public Horticulture

The Fellows Program is a unique leader-development program that focuses on refining the skill level and heightening the self-awareness of leaders within public horticulture. It is designed similarly to the highest-quality leader development programs available today with 27% of the focus spent on text and case-based discussions, 22% spent on learning from regional and global public horticulture leaders, and 51% spent on pragmatic experiences gained via departmental immersion, a two-month field placement, and a collective cohort project. The Program is guided by the legacy of visionary business leader Pierre S du Pont and is grounded in the literature of experts within the disciplines of leadership, organisational behavior, and nonprofit management. Initially launched in 1967, the Longwood Fellows Program develops professionals from diverse backgrounds to be leaders in the field of horticulture and other mission-driven organisations. After completing the program, Fellows apply their newly refined leadership skills to advance organisations around the world. Our graduates have gone on to become Executive directors and CEOS, Directors of Conservation, Horticulture, Education, Public Programs, and more.
