Student Experience

Success Stories & Testimonials

I was extremely grateful for the opportunity to go down to Landscape Ontario’s Congress. This was an especially great way to close out what was for me a phenomenal school experience. It meant a great deal to me to be able to be present at the Awards of Excellence Ceremony and receive the first place award for the Come Alive Outside Design Challenge as well as the Tony DeGiovanni Scholarship. The week was special in that it helped me to realize that I am a part of an industry that is so dynamic and one that truly supports its members. I had a number of great conversations with industry leaders and I am so grateful for the networking opportunities. The horticulture program at Algonquin has been a catalyst in what I know will be an incredible career. At the beginning of my program I resolved to give it all I had and that I would take every opportunity to get involved in extracurricular events. Now, having finished the program, I am so grateful for the amazing experiences, the knowledge I have gained, the people I have met and the confidence that I have gained to charge forward in my career.
