ADVANCE YOUR LANDSCAPE HORTICULTURE CAREER & BUSINESS

BY EDITH OYOSORO

THE LANDSCAPE HORTICULTURE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (LHCP) offers industry professionals a means to articulate their skills and prove their competence to operate according to industry standards. With online test delivery, candidates can take hands-on practical and written tests at their own convenient time and place. As a new season begins, take advantage of the $100 member discount on Certified Landscape Horticulturist Technician (CLHT) and Manager (CLHM) exam registration. Rather than pay $400 to register for one CLHT module and $325 to register for the CLHM exams, members will pay $300 and $225 respectively.
