The Botanic Garden at Oklahoma State University celebrated the grand opening of its new Horticulture Education Center on Dec. 19. The 2,100-square-foot facility features a large classroom for student, faculty and community learning opportunities, as well as office space and restrooms. “It’s another memorable milestone in the history of The Botanic Garden at OSU as we celebrate the grand opening of the Horticulture Education Center,” said Jayson Lusk, vice president and dean of OSU Agriculture. “This new center will further enhance participation in horticultural activities at the garden and ensure that OSU Agriculture’s legacy of community will continue to evolve for future generations.” The $1.725 million project is a public-private partnership made possible with support from the OSU Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust, industry partners and individual contributions.
