As a direct result of Landscape Ontario’s efforts there are now 27 high schools offering Specialist High Skills Major programs in horticulture and landscaping.   

The schools should be supported as much as possible with members having a link between their company and the high school. By doing this it will encourage more participation in co-op programs and raise awareness about available career opportunities.
