I would honestly say the horticulture program is one of the most inclusive, friendly and generous programs on campus, if not the most of all three. The courses are all taught by enthusiastic professors who have all become close friends of mine. The professors are engaging and extremely well-versed in the topics that they teach and will always encourage questions to be asked. I have found that if I ask a question and my professor does not know the answer, they will make sure to find it out so the class can learn even more.
