Time and again I have heard, “I miss the old OSU Nursery Short Course where we could talk about landscape plants, bugs, diseases and what might impact our industry next!”  Well, stop dreaming of the good old days and get back into understanding potential future landscape plants and challenges!!  A great landscape educational experience can be discovered at the Ohio State University Short Course.  Why call it the OSU Short Course??  Because the OSU Short Course is exactly that— a short, intensive course of educational classes and updates that are all landscape related!

The OSU Short Course (of landscape education!) is a collaborative partner of the Ohio Turfgrass Foundation's (OTF) Conference and Trade Show.  This year’s OSU Short Course will be held December 5-7, 2023 at the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio.
