Abstract
In recognition of the Horticulture Research Station’s 50th anniversary in 2017, a demonstration garden will be developed that highlights cultivars developed by the ISU Department of Horticulture. This garden will be known as the Horticulture Garden (Figure 1). The design and installation is intended to tie together the use of sustainable plants and management practices. The Horticulture Garden will be available for teaching and demonstration of sustainable practices for student classes, interns, tours, and field days.
