Friday and Saturday, we were on the University of Illinois Campus. The College Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) held an open house.

Michael's major is Landscape Design, which is part of horticulture. During our visit we spoke with his department head who is already dangling the Jr year Study abroad program carrot in front of him. For him that would mean Holland/The Netherlands.

Also during the visit, the students from the different curricula gave presentations and of course the Hort students had a theme, Welcome to the Jungle with Guns and Roses song blasting away.

One student designer had a gorilla design assistant while another student dressed up like a Flintstone. See her pic below. The "Flintstone" designer is a Freshmen. As you can see she is designing some big stuff.

other pics were shot in the Conservatory.

Nice......I laughed when I saw that title of the thread...that's what I have on my sign board outside thanks to a new load of plants!
 
Looks like a great program, good luck to your son and his goals.
I hope you are able to make that overseas program a reality for him,
it would sure broaden his horizons and see that we are doing as well as
the Dutch in some of these areas.
 
What a great thing Joe. Congrats to you both!
