Garten’s Landscape Training Program is no-cost six-week curriculum with classroom learning sessions and weekly hands-on practicum.

This “essentials” course is an excellent way to learn the fundamentals and advanced techniques of landscaping. By participating in this six-week program, Trainees will receive a Non-Credited Certificate (NCC) through Chemeketa Community College.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a $1,400 stipend and be well-equipped to pursue entry-level positions in the landscape industry. The program ensures that trainees possess the confidence and foundational knowledge necessary to develop industry-ready skills, thereby facilitating their exploration of diverse career options within the field.
