The 110th annual Penn State Horticultural Fair will be held October 19th and 20th

The Penn State Horticulture Club will host the 110th annual Horticulture Show during Parents and Families Weekend at Penn State. The event will take place on Saturday, October 19th and Sunday, October 20th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Snider Agricultural Arena.

The Horticulture Show, manager Owen Fairchild told Onward State, is “almost like a home and garden show where we transform the university’s Snider Agricultural Arena into an indoor landscape with donated plant material from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.”

The Horticulture Club spends more than a week putting together its event at the arena based on a design created by students. Items at the event, including trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, apples, pumpkins and cider, will be sold at a discount to raise money for the Horticulture Club.

All money raised at the Horticulture Show will be used to fund the club’s trip to the National Collegiate Landscape Competition, the largest student green industry event in the country, hosted by the state of Colorado.
