2025 Environmental Horticulture Workshop

About the Event

IR-4 hosted the biennial Environmental Horticulture Workshop from October 7-8, 2025, in Kansas City, Missouri. At this event, stakeholders involved in the Environmental Horticulture Program collaborated to set national and regional research priorities for the next two-year cycle. Thanks to all who joined us in Kansas City (and virtually)!
