Few on campus may be aware of the university's horticulture center, but its reputation is growing. John Spain has more in this Bobcat Update.

Indeed -- growing is what it's all about at the horticulture center, where you can find a greenhouse and a garden -- all maintained by students, staff and several volunteers.  The center is located in the agriculture building between Sessoms Drive and Pleasant Street. Those with a green thumb are encouraged to help nurture the wide variety of plant life found at the center.  Dr. Tina Cade supervises the center with a relatively small, close-knit group. Cade say the group is eager to promote a thriving educational and social environment.
(Cade 0:15 "...happy place.")
Dr. Cade wants the center to be an inviting place.  It offers all students a quiet place in the garden to study. There's even a hammock for relaxing.  
(Etheredge 0:10 "...Cade still.")
The horticulture center sponsors several programs during the year.  The programs are designed to help students and volunteers find ways to have a positive impact on their community through their love of plants.
For Bobcat Update, I'm John Spain.
