Friends of the Hort Farm

	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 Horticultural Research Center in South Burlington, Vermont for education, research, and public enrichment. The group, composed of interested citizens, local garden club members, professional horticulturists, and landscape architects, is working in partnership with the University of Vermont to develop both short-term and long-term plans to provide for the stewardship of this wonderful and important resource. The Friends also sponsors public programs, and engages in fundraising and collections preservation. Volunteers are needed for these and other activities. The Friends publish a newsletter bimonthly and a calendar for the year.
