After decades of collaboration, the Department of Horticultural Sciences in Geneva and the Department of Horticulture in Ithaca merged into a single Department of Horticulture on July 1, 2010. 

We serve professionals, students and citizens of New York State, the nation, and the world. We generate and extend knowledge about fruits, vegetables and landscape plants for the purpose of sustaining the environment, enhancing economic vitality, and improving the quality of life for individuals and communities.
