VSCP 2023 Overnight Summer Camp dates have officially dropped!

Overnight Summer Camps do require an application process and will open on January 15, 2023  HERE.

New in 2023, the Texas A&M University Horticulture Department will be hosting a 4-H Landscape Challenge. The Final Challenge will take place on Monday, June 5, 2023, in College Station in conjunction with Texas 4-H Roundup week. This is not an official Texas 4-H Roundup contest; however this week provided a great time for the Department to host this opportunity. Youth that compete in the 4-H Landscape Challenge Final are also encouraged to register for Texas 4-H Roundup and the events and activities offered that week. This challenge is meant to promote landscape design knowledge and professionalism to 4-H students by simulating a real-life interaction between customer and landscape professional. Additionally, the challenge will serve to educate the public on the value of landscaping by beautifying the grounds. For more information visit HERE or contact Jayla Fry at jayla.fry@ag.tamu.edu
