Summer Field Trips

Field trips round out the classroom experiences for all Fellows. Students observe a variety of public gardens in our region and examine the organizational structure, management styles and other specific aspects of each of the 4 – 5 selected sites. The Fellows meet many public horticulture professionals on field trips (including former Fellows) and have a chance to discuss issues of common concern. They can evaluate and compare public horticulture institutions and gain important networking experience that can be useful when seeking employment.
