Calling all Horticulture Faculty at Non-Land Grant Institutions

—Dewayne Ingram, ASHS President

The focus of ASHS is the science and discipline of horticulture. Our members make discoveries through research and ASHS provides avenues for vetting those discoveries through peer review. Research is an important focus for ASHS and must always be such. However, horticulturists are also engaged in the application and dissemination of those discoveries to our industries and the general public. This application and dissemination frequently occurs in the U.S. at the interface of research, Cooperative Extension, and industry. The other important interface for this exchange is undergraduate and graduate education. And we all know that the future of horticultural science rests with those being educated for careers in horticulture.
