ATHENS — Like proud parents at a recital, undergraduate students in the upper-level University of Georgia “Greenhouse Management” class fussed around the hundreds of daisies, chrysanthemums, Gasteria succulents, snapdragons, dianthus and echinacea they had cultivated for their inaugural plant sale.
The October sale, like the rearing of the plants from seedling plugs donated by green industry partners, was entirely student-planned and implemented. This is a revamped approach to the long-standing course, now taught by Department of Horticulture Associate Professor Rhuanito Ferrarezi, who specializes in controlled environment agriculture.
