OUR MISSION
The Friends of the Horticulture Farm is a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting, enhancing and promoting the significant plant collections and natural areas of the University of Vermont’s Horticulture, Research, and Education Center in South Burlington, Vermont, and to offering educational programs about horticulture to their members and the general public.
WHO WE ARE
We are a non-profit member organization of citizens, garden club members, Vermont Master Gardeners, nature enthusiasts, professional horticulturists, landscape architects and designers—in fact, anyone interested in gardening.
The Friends offers a program of lectures, workshops, and other opportunities for plant enthusiasts from children to connoisseurs to explore the world of plants and nurture a love of horticulture. We also work in partnership with the University of Vermont to develop both short-term and long-term plans to preserve the exceptional plant collections on the property.
As a volunteer organization, our work is made possible by members’ generous gifts of time, skills, and essential financial support.
