This organization was
founded in 1997 to bring together students interested in
horticulture so that they may increase knowledge for themselves
and others in the
community.
Our activities are open to all students, from those
who have no knowledge of plants to
those who are majors in plant and soil science. We also intend to
extend our
activities to students who are interested but may not be able to make
long term
commitments to our club. So if there is an event you are
interested in, we invite
you to e-mail us about it! Furthermore, we also encourage
students to give us any
ideas on activities we could do in the future. The club is small
and designed to be
tailored towards the members!
We participate in a number of activities annually
including: volunteer work, such as
forcing bulbs into bloom and sending to local nursing homes; attending
presentations, such
as bonsai tree workshops and flower arranging seminars; going on field
trips to such
places as the Montreal Botanical Gardens, and fundraisers, such as
selling house plants
during move-in weekend. We also plant and maintain the gardens
located on the south
side of the Hills Building. Feel free to stop and smell the
flowers!
We encourage all who are interested in attending a meeting to get in
touch with us through
e-mail by writing to: Horticulture.Club@uvm.edu
