My name is Vernon Bryant and I am a horticulturalist with the University of Illinois Extension Service.
Horticulture is basically a field or the study of growing plants for different purposes.
It is kind of like Agriculture, but we tend to look more at ornamental plants we concentrate a lot more on vegetables, turf grass flowers trees and shrubs and how to grow them and how to manage them. This garden was started about three years ago. So this garden is also a representation of that freedom that they have coming to America to and to show people that you really can take control of your life. If we kind of look back toward the front part of the garden are uhm What you are going to see, is just basically the same things that are on the other side. Thing that really catch people's attention because color is important.
