High school-aged youth (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors) are invited to apply to a weeklong, residential horticultural
Youth will have hands-on opportunities to explore a broad range of horticultural possibilities from breeding better fruits and vegetables, growing a diverse selection of woody ornamentals, lengthening the life of cut flowers, learning sustainable production practices, climbing trees, designing landscapes and delving into tools that enhance our understanding of plant growth.
Participants will visit a variety of horticultural businesses, eat delicious local food, explore campus, watch garden films, and arrange flowers. Youth will also be introduced to career possibilities, college-making decisions and leadership development.
The cost of the institute will be $500 with a $150 deposit due upon application acceptance. Many meals included. I am working on providing partial scholarships!
Deadline for application is May 22.
