Spring Field Trip South 2005

On April 7, 2005, students and faculty from the Department of Horticulture will be departing Blacksburg, heading south to visit some of the finest gardens and landscapes in the Carolinas. Along the way, we'll stop in at the JC Raulston Arboretum at North Carolina State University, Sandhills Community College Gardens, the resort at Pinehurst, Middleton Place, Historic Charleston, resorts at Hilton Head Island, the North Carolina Arboretum, and the gardens at Biltmore House.

How much will it cost?
The cost per student is $130. There is a sign-up sheet on Robert McDuffie's office door (106B Saunders Hall). You may pay immediately for the trip with a check made out to "Treasurer, Virginia Tech." Payment is due by Wednesday, March 30. Seats are limited and will be assigned on a first pay basis. The cost of the trip includes transportation, all breakfasts, all entrance fees, and lodging (3-4 people per room). The inexpensive cost of the trip is due to a generous grant from the Horticulture Club at Virginia Tech.

Transportation will be a luxury 21 passenger motor coach.
