The hands-on practicum course equips students with greenhouse management skills, including crop care, pest control and environmental regulation. Proceeds from the sale support future student learning and research initiatives at the CSU Horticulture Center.
Attendees can vote for their favorite poinsettias, and trial plants will also be available for purchase. Early arrival is recommended, as plants sell quickly. For more information, contact Mike Hazlett, research associate at the CSU Horticulture Center, at [email protected].
