Study agriculture science at the Bachelor's level and specialise in horticulture in your Master's, which is MSc (horticulture) from any of the State Agricultural Universities. A doctorate is mandatory for research. But a postgraduate degree would suffice if your interest lies in consultancy or landscape designing or in case you aim to join a resort/ hotel/corporate house as a horticulturist
