The MSU Horticulture Club offers interested students the opportunity to further their horticultural education in an informal, fun, and competitive manner. Club activities include community service projects, plant sales, trade shows, competition at regional and national meetings, and trips. Through identification and judging of plant materials, students have the opportunity to travel and bring recognition to themselves, and the university.

The mission of the MSU Horticulture Club is to encourage the study and practice of all phases of horticulture.

This year the Horticulture Club has many projects scheduled. We have a couple of fall plant sale projects (fall mums and pansies in October and poinsettias in December) as well as our spring bedding plant sale (in April) planned for the comming year. The club will be competing in regional competitions in Birmingham, AL 2012 and national competitions in Miami, FL 2012. We hope to schedule another trip for this fall or spring to help break up the semester and enhance the learning experience. All active members are welcome on the trips. Come and join the fun.
