CROOKSTON, Minn. -The UMN Crookston Horticulture Department kicks off its annual spring bedding plant sale Thursday, April 29. Sales are encouraged through their online catalog and virtual sales option. Due to COVID-19 protocols, online sales are on a first-come, first-served basis and will be reviewed and filled as supplies last. Pick-up dates will be scheduled according to order dates.
UMN Crookston Horticulture department provides specialized, hands-on experiences in Environmental Landscaping, Production Horticulture and Urban Forestry. “It's a small campus but you get a top notch education here. In our approach we take students out, they get their hands dirty, they really get to know operations; greenhouse operations, landscape operations from a hands on perspective,” said Assistant Professor Eric Castle.
Students can attain a pesticide certification and a Minnesota Nursery Landscape Association (MNLA) certification. Careers, while vast are plentiful and in many cases our Horticulture students go onto graduate school.
