Horticulture Club
Horticulture is a branch of biology that directly connects people to their environments through the study and appreciation of plants. It is everything from enjoying flowers on a walk to intensive homestead gardening; from designing captivating landscapes to excitedly calling someone over to see caterpillar frass. Plants are everywhere and whether we interact with them for food, aesthetics, disaster mitigation, ecosystem services, or some combination thereof, there are endless rewards to knowing more about them and being supported by similarly giddy enthusiasts and professionals along the way! We operate in a very decentralized fashion, allowing members great flexibility to propose and carry out many different types of events of their choosing. Come join us for a walk, a weed-pull, or a visit to a community garden! For more information, contact Sara Tanis at .
