Horticultural Science Summer Institute, July 6-11, 2014
High
school-aged youth (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors) are invited
to apply to a weeklong, residential horticultural experience on the
campus of NC State University. Youth will have hands-on opportunities to
explore a broad range of horticultural possibilities from breeding
better fruits and vegetables, growing a diverse selection of woody
ornamentals, lengthening the life of cut flowers, learning sustainable
production practices and delving into practical tools that enhance our
understanding of plant processes. Participants will visit a variety of
horticultural businesses. Youth will also be introduced to career
possibilities, college-making decisions and leadership development and
enjoy evening entertainment and team-building activities.
There are a limited number of scholarships for 4-H youth to attend! Youth should apply here by Friday, April 4th. For more information visit the HSSI webpage.
