Horticulture Club
We promote horticulture and all it has to offer…from the aesthetic values to the ecological benefits of trees, plants, and flowers. We also strive to strengthen our horticulture knowledge while having fun and learning.
Club's principal activities, events and programs:
- Every two to three weeks we do fundraising by holding plant sales. At the plant sales we sell a wide variety of house plants and specialty crops grown by the club and horticulture students.
- Create flower arrangements for several campus wide events and activities.
- Several educational seminars offered by great speakers on many topics and you can become an MNLA Certified Professional!
- Attend the annual Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association (MNLA) ‘Green Expo’ Convention at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
- Compete in the annual Mid-American Collegiate Horticulture Society (MACHS) competition, NACTA, and PLANET
- Provide tours of the UMC campus greenhouses to various individuals and groups throughout the community.
