Love wandering around gardens? Marveling over plants in the nursery? Eating blistered shishito peppers?
Join us for an online, curated experience of NC State University's Horticultural Science Summer Institute. While we might prefer climbing trees and propagating baby succulents in person, we are holding camp virtually this year on July 6-July 9th. Registration is free and it will be a blend of two live events - a kick-off keynote and a closing program and then pre-recorded videos and activities for you to do at home. It will be engaging and fun and youth can dig in at your own pace. Here is the schedule:
