First chartered in 1892, the Virginia Tech Department of Horticulture is one of the oldest departments in the University. Today, it has over 25 faculty members devoted to unraveling the mysteries of plants and sharing that knowledge with individuals and groups around the world. From tissue culture to landscape design, the Department seeks to communicate the message of plants to a wide audience.

Along with a strong undergraduate program, advanced degrees at the master’s and PhD levels are offered through programs in Blacksburg and in Hampton Roads.

Through Extension and Outreach programs, plant knowledge is made available to alumni and industry, as well as ordinary citizens through Master Gardener and other programs in Virginia.

Few departments at Virginia Tech better exemplify the University motto, Ut prosim (to serve), as does the Department of Horticulture.
