The University of Georgia grounds and horticulture departments
will lead a walking and bus tour of the campus grounds on May 18,
including a behind-the-scenes view of the grounds department.

UGA is growing all over, challenging its grounds department to
landscape new areas and renovate old ones in a beautiful,
low-maintenance, environmentally friendly campus.

The tour will visit some of the newly renovated areas, showing
which plants worked and which didn’t on different areas. It will
detail the seasonal color program’s successes and failures. And
it will reveal the challenges of installing a few of the new
areas.

Great for Landscapers

Especially valuable to landscape professionals, the tour will
provide a chance to visit with industry co-workers, share
information and gain ideas.

Registration will start at 8 a.m. at the Miller Plant Science
Building. After a brief orientation in the botany auditorium at 9
a.m., the tour will begin, rain or shine. Wear comfortable
clothes and walking shoes.

A $25 fee covers bus transportation and lunch. Register by May
14. To sign up or learn more about the tour, call (706)
542-2861.
