Spring is particularly in evidence in the work of our horticulture students.
Second-year horticulture instructor Chip Hope has done a good job encouraging community involvement on the part of his students. Fifteen of them recently took part in a workday at the Johnson Farm, renewing and renovating the gardens there in preparation for Johnson Farm Day. On campus, Chip and the students have gotten involved with heirloom vegetable and flower seeds and plants, including antique roses and apples. If you have seeds and stories about the seeds that you'd be willing to share, Chip encourages you to contact him at 692-3572, ext. A popular horticulture department event, the annual plant sale, starts this Monday.
