HoFo Formal

This year, Hortus Forum proudly revived a long-standing tradition dating back to our roots as the Floriculture Club—our winter formal. The evening brought together members, officers, alumni, and fellow student leaders passionate about plant education and biodiversity to celebrate the close of the semester.

The night was filled with connection and community, from lively conversations to a much-anticipated raffle featuring some of our rarer plants. We were also honored to hear from Chelsea Specht and members of her lab, who shared insights into their career paths, research interests, and experiences studying tropical plants.

It was a meaningful evening that honored our history while celebrating the vibrant community we continue to grow today.
