Seeds : Newsletter for Alumni of the Department of Horticulture at Virginia Tech : 2010

Greetings all alumni and friends! It is our time of year, when horticulturists are on the move with the long anticipated spectacle of spring upon us. It was truly a stunning winter here in Blacksburg, but I for one am ready to get out in the garden! We have had a very positive year in the department. First of all, we welcomed Alan Grant as the new dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in fall 2009. Dean Grant came to us from Purdue University, where he headed their animal sciences department. He brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the college, and we can anticipate a bright future for CALS.
