What do you learn from the plants that surround you every day?
Did you come to Smith, unfamiliar with a path to public horticulture, botanical humanities, landscape design, only to realize that you had found your calling after taking a class in Lyman, working in the Plant House, or over the course of being mentored by a faculty or staff member?
