Our Green Future

About

In a world with an accelerating climate emergency, embracing a more sustainable, green society is necessary. This theme explores how our lives will change to slow the warming planet.
In a parallel track, this shares how people can engage with a green movement and build a career in horticulture or a related green industry. We need a collective eﬀort to advance horticulture and expand its integral role in staving oﬀ climate change and advance green economies to create a more beautiful world for future generations.

Horticulture Intersection

Build a “green” house of the future, showing all the opportunities to create a more sustainable,
ecologically friendly home inside and out. Create a lab to discuss research topics that impact us
all, from pest and disease management to plant breeding and wildlife/wetland restoration.
Develop a career center, showing the array of opportunities that exist to work in the green
industry, as well as for educators to connect with future students.
