D3o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 6,1984
Hort Show
to be held
in Ag Arena
UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn
State’s Hort show is coming home.
Traditionally a part of
homecoming weekend, the Hort
Show has been held in warm
September weather the past few
years because its temporary home
was only a tent - a tent that last
year, blew down the day before the
Show.
Now, in its new permanent home
in the Ag Arena, the 71st annual
Hort Show, Oct. 20 and 21, can
resume its place as the showcase
of homecoming weekend.
This year’s exhibits change with
the seasons. As visitors move
through the Arena, they will see
how nature’s influence on plants in
the home and garden changes with
the seasons. Just as plants in your
own home and garden change as
they grow, each exhibit will reflect
a separate gardening season, from
winter’s silent, snowy landscape,
to the bright flowers of spring.
Bulbs, including daffodils,
crocuses and tulips, are featured in
the spring garden, while herbs and
vegetables will dominate the
summer exhibit. Flashed of fall
color from marigolds, zinnias and
chrysanthemums are the center of
attention in the fall garden, and
handsome evergreens accent the
winter scene.
Since 1928, student organizations
in Penn State’s College of
Agriculture have been responsible
for all aspects of the Hort show.
Students on campus during the
summer semester grow potted
annuals and vegetables for
display. Perennials, however, are
ordered from nearby nurseries and
greenhouses. Students also design,
organize, set-up and staff the two
day event.
As in the past, students will be
selling house and garden plants,
apples, cider and mushrooms.
Proceeds, after expenses, support
Hort Club activities. This year’s
projects include a pledge to the Ag
Arena Fund, Club tripe to major
gardens, and a scholarship fund.
Some money also supports social
activities such as ice skating
parties, banquets, and student and
faculty picnics and parties.
The Horticulture Show at the Ag
Arena is free and open to the public
Saturday, Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 8
p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 21 from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. It’s on Penn State’s
University Park Campus, across
from Beaver Stadium on the
comer of Park Drive and Porter
Road. Parking is free.
