The Pennsylvania State
Horticulture Show has been
a staple of the fall semester
here for over a century. We
hope to continue this
distinguished tradition this
year with the 104th edition
of the show. The theme that
we will be attempting to
portray for this years show
will be Halloween, and
will occur on the weekend of
October 13th, 2017. Our goal is to provide visitors with a scenic, entertaining, and interactive experience of a family friendly outdoor space portrayed with a Halloween twist. We will create this display of landscapes from materials that have been donated from various vendors in the industry. This show serves as the Horticulture Clubs biggest fundraising effort of the year, and provides funds to help enable students in many collegiate activities, including, but not limited to, NALP National Collegiate Landscape Competition (formerly PLANET Student Career Days), field trips to companies and nurseries, and various other educational club activities throughout the year. In addition to providing these opportunities for club members, proceeds from the show also fund scholarships for eligible students.
Admission to the show is free, and is a fantastic family activity. In addition to an abundance of plant material available for purchase, we will also have refreshing apple cider and fresh local produce.
