The gardens cover approximately 3.5 acres surrounding the Westcott Building and the greenhouses. The gardens allow the students to be involved in every aspect of public gardening from design through installation and maintenance. The greenhouses are used in several of the horticulture classes including Introduction to Plant Science, both plant materials classes, Floriculture Techniques, Greenhouse Management and Production, Plant Propagation, Plant Physiology, and Directed Studies. Through the student-work program, several students are involved with the Berry Horticulture Business. This business is an effort between the greenhouse supervisor and the student workers to produce quality plants which are sold in retail and wholesale markets in the Berry community as well as the greater Rome community.
Visitors are welcome.
