HORTUS FORUM
Hortus Forum is an undergraduate horticulture club that aims to conduct social, educational, and service activities for the benefit of club members and the Cornell community. We grow houseplants in a greenhouse all year and host plant sales to fund raise for activities and great trips to both local and international destinations.
DILMUN HILL We are a student-run farm that has been practicing sustainable agriculture on Cornell University’s campus for more than a decade. Our mission is to provide students with opportunities for experiential learning, group collaboration and research. Throughout the year we host work parties where volunteers work in the fields and experience the latest in sustainable ag practices.
