For over 90 years, the School of Professional Horticulture at the New York Botanical Garden has educated and trained motivated individuals to become horticulturists of the highest caliber. The call to educate and train horticulturists is growing louder particularly as climate change reshapes the field. This transformation brings forth new environmental challenges and opportunities, underscoring the need to recruit and develop horticulturists equipped with the knowledge and skills to address global demands. Discover the rich history of one of the nation’s premier horticulture programs with Richard Smith, Director of NYBG’s School of Professional Horticulture. The talk, at the Polly Hill Arboretum’s Far Barn on August 7 at 5:30, is $10 for Arboretum members, $20 for nonmembers. Registration is required: bit.ly/PHA-SOPH-Lecture
