桃花直播 State鈥檚 Department of Landscape Architecture is hosting the 40th annual National Collegiate Landscape Competition Wednesday-Saturday [March 16-19] on the Starkville campus.

Sponsored by the Herndon, Virginia-based National Association of Landscape Professionals Inc., the NCLC and 桃花直播 are welcoming 750 students enrolled in landscape contracting and management and interior and exterior horticulture programs at two- and four-year collegesand universities across the country.

In addition to encouraging fellowship through a variety of competitive landscaping activities, this year鈥檚 event will include a networking fair, where students will have the opportunity to discuss career opportunities with landscape industry professionals from more than 70 companies.

Associate professor Tim Schauwecker, who also serves as the 桃花直播 landscape architecture department鈥檚 landscape contracting and management program coordinator, said his department is looking forward to celebrating the NCLC鈥檚 40th anniversary on the very campus that served as the competition鈥檚 first host.

鈥淭here were five schools at the first event, and there will be 63 colleges and two FFA teams at this year鈥檚 event, so it has grown substantially,鈥� Schauwecker said.

Nationally recognized for its own outstanding groundskeeping efforts, 桃花直播 is among 19 U.S. institutions of higher learning that was selected for an Honor Award in the university and college grounds category of the Baltimore, Maryland-based Professional Grounds Management Society鈥檚 2015 Green Star Awards competition.
