UF Environmental Horticulture To all of you public gardens people, UF Public Gardens grads and friends: we need to know from you why it's important for us to keep the Public Gardens specialization at UF. Feel free to pass word along to those who aren't fans yet. Leave a comment here or email me at erinalvarez@ufl.edu. Better yet, do both! :) Thanks!

Are they considering cutting it? I think it's important to keep it because there is nothing comparable to it in the other specializations, or in any other major. Also, I don't think I would have become an ENH major back in the day if it hadn't been available, if you're looking at it from a recruiting-to-the-department standpoint.
