    Well I would think the more you know about plants their habits and growth the better designer you would be.I would much rather a doctor studied the human body first before operating on me ( a lil joke) anyway horticulture 1st then design.

    I am in college right now for a degree in Horticulture. I want to do Landscape Design, and hope to go on to Landscape Architecture. As of right now, my community college only offers a degree in Horticulture, classes only for Landscape design. I am trying to get all my Gen Eds done before going for my Bachelor’s Degree.
    In Landscape design, you need to know the growth habits of the plants you are using in your design, how they will mature, the Latin names because that is how they are identified in the industry, soil requirements and many other things. Your horticulture classes will teach you that.
