its for a class, the plants are "sold" to NCSU students and faculty, plants we propagate in class


this is the first year we have done this, since Dr. Kraus wanted to incorporate the marketing aspect of nursery management into the class, so it is a work in progress! before they just gave them away

im just giving you a heads up, we will grow some great plants

**the plants are not being 'sold' they are free the site explains, we encourage yall to get some plants!

it says students and faculty can get plants, does this mean staff cant get them?

9/4/2006 1:48:48 PM

wouldnt faculty mean everyone that works at NCSU

not just professors and what not

but since you raise that question im not real sure

awww. . .i've already graduated. if i were still a student, i would be all over this.

but plants can't use the internet.

what kind of black magic are they doing over there?

BHS:

The website doesn't seem to be fully functional yet...can you tell us what will be available? I am always looking for unusual species and cultivars for my collections of hardy hibiscus, hydrangea (esp. remontant) and viburnum.

Also, if you are interested, I have several neighbors that are interested in getting some landscaping done (by me), but if the students would like to "practice" on their properties I'm 99% sure at least one would let them turn it into a class project.

yea its not we havent really even begun propagating the plants

theres a certain unit of the class that is in charge of stocking the plants, so we wont know until they pick what we gonna grow
