Display & Trial Garden

This summer, Research Fellow Emily Tepe is exploring the advantages of introducing fruits and vegetables into the home landscape. She is maintaining a blog, the Edible Landscape, about the experience.

The Edible Landscape is one of many projects we are conducting in the Display & Trial Garden. The Garden, located just one block from our building, has been an asset to the Department for many years. Find out more about the Display & Trial Garden.

Our department stresses the importance of learning outside the classroom, and many of our undergraduates participate in Hort Club, Turf Club, or the Student Organic Farm. All undergraduates will also complete an internship during their time here.
