Hort Club is an active group of diverse undergraduates who are interested in plants and horticultural science. Throughout the year, Hort Club offers many opportunities to its members for learning more about horticulture.
The Club holds several plant sales throughout the year: the Winter Holiday Sale, the Spring Sale, and other houseplant sales. Students grow and propagate most of the plants sold at these events from seeds, plugs, cuttings, or rootstock.
Every year, Hort Club takes an educational trip to learn more about the horticulture industry and plant diversity. Previous trips have been to New York City, Hawaii, and San Diego; 2008’s trip was to Miami. Proceeds from the plant sales completely cover the costs of the annual trips.
Hort Club holds other group activities throughout the year, such as floral-design workshops, pumpkin carving, and apple picking.
