Of the numerous dynamic environmental programs offered year-in and year-out by the Horticulture Department at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, two new ones not only had immediate positive results, they also hold promise for greater impact in the future.

Led by Dr. Mike Schnelle, Pat Brolin and Dr. Kathleen Kelsey, the OSU faculty team provided an effective trio of workshops to a Stillwater homeowner group living in an area considered an environmental risk. Also, green professionals and master gardeners throughout the state took home invaluable lessons from a Commercial Landscape and Integrated Pest Management workshop.

By providing targeted populations with finely tuned educational opportunities for a more beautiful and livable environment, the Oklahoma State University Horticulture Department is good, green news for homeowners and environmental professionals throughout Oklahoma.
