The UA Horticulture Club is based in the Department of Plant Sciences and operates under the advisement of Dr. Tanya Quist

Throughout the school year, we meet at the greenhouse to propagate and care for our plants. Club members learn various propagation techniques as well as the basics of plant care and greenhouse maintenance. Periodically, we hold plant sales on the UA mall. These fundraiser help us purchase more propagation and greenhouse supplies.

Other club events include guest speakers, field trips, and campus beautification projects.
