A friend of mine suggested I contact MSU for their satellite programs in Horticulture. They currently offer Plant Sciences Certification for students interested in turf grass management, landscape design or horticulture. It requires an internship and some of the required classes may be taken through NMC (which would save on tuition). I think this would be a great opportunity for me to become better acquainted with current trends, pest management and most importantly general botany.
In other news, the bulbs are not yet here, so I contacted the company and they said they are being shipped from Holland and it will likely be this week. There was some delay. I’ll keep you posted. The weather today turned chilly, but no matter, the bulbs will be cozy in their nests of straw until spring blows in some warmer temperatures.
