Hort club reaches out
By Nicky Frazier, posted 11/18/05

The MU Horticulture Club has been busy this fall and will continue their active role in the community and on campus throughout the school year.

The club started off the season with a generous spirit. In early October, members came together to pick apples to donate to the Central Missouri Food Bank. They continued to support the community by visiting Shyrock’s corn maze, on Oct. 21.

This year the Hort Club will have its usual plant sales. Currently growing in the greenhouse are poinsettias for the annual winter sale.

“The flowers will come in a variety of colors including pink, white, marble and the traditional red,” president Maria Bellrose said.

Looking forward to next semester, students can expect more plant sales. Those looking to please their sweethearts can purchase roses during the Valentine’s Day sale. When spring comes, new life will blossom at the spring bedding plant sale.
