Longwood Graduate Program: Group Projects (List)
Each year, both classes of current Longwood Graduate Program Fellows participate in a shared group project. Beginning in 2007, the focus of the annual group project changed to reflect an outward focus on serving other public horticulture institutions and community organizations, and is now referred to as the Professional Outreach Project (POP).
Projects prior to 2007 will be digitized and available for download in the future.
