On Tuesday, 27 members of the Horticulture Club and two faculty – Dennis P. Skinner, assistant professor, and Carl J. Bower Jr., instructor – traveled to Erb Brothers Landscaping Inc. in Lititz and Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square. The Penn College group talked to and toured with Erb Brothers co-owner Matt R. Gingerich,  who showed them the nursery and landscape operations that have served Southcentral Pennsylvania since the 1920s. Later, at Longwood Gardens, students toured the grounds and got a behind-the-scenes look at the greenhouse facilities. They learned about internships and the history of Longwood from Brian W. Trader, coordinator of domestic and international studies.
