Job Fair 



On February 19, more than thirty 

 companies from the Northeast 

 participated in the first-ever 

 Green Industry |ob Fair at the Th- 

 ompson School Businesses in at- 

 tendance included arborists, gar- 

 den centers, greenhouses, land- 

 scape contractors and architects, 

 and nurseries. All New England 

 states, along with New York and 

 Pennsylvania, were represented. 



Companies reps had the oppor- 

 tunity to talk with over 100 stu- 

 dents from programs in horticul- 

 ture technology, plant biology, for- 

 est technology, natural resources, 

 and environmental conservation. 

 Talk was animated and a few 

 deals were sealed on the spot. 



Nest year, it's likely that the 

 event will move to the Memorial 



Union Building to allow access to 

 greater numbers of students and 

 space for more businesses to 

 exhibit. 



Meanwhile, owners and manag- 

 ers looking for help are encour- 

 aged to send announcements of 

 Green Industry positions to the 

 Hort Tech program, Putnam Hall, 

 UNH, Durham, NH 03824 (fax 603- 

 862-47521 or to the Department of 

 Plant Biology, Rudman Hall 



A Broader Category 



The NH Plant Growers' Association 

 has sponsored an award at the 

 NH Orchid Society Show for the 

 last several years. It has always 

 been for "Best Cut Flower Ar- 

 rangement," but for the last 

 couple years, there have not been 

 many potential recipients. The 



NHPGA award will now be for 

 "Best Artistic Design," a category 

 which can include displays as well 

 as arrangements and seems to of- 

 fer much more possibility. 



This is the 15th (Crystal) Anni- 

 versary of the New Hampshire Or- 

 chid Society (NHOS) and a spon- 

 sor of the show is Princess House 

 Crystal. The awards reflect this: 

 they will be certificates in 8"xl0" 

 crystal frames. 



This year's show (April 24-26 at 

 the Nashua Armory) will empha- 

 size speakers and workshops. The 

 keynote speaker will be Dr. Leon 

 Glickenstein from Chicago, an au- 

 thority on orchids of various North 

 American regions, who will be 

 speaking on "Native New England 

 Orchids" on Saturday at 1 1 and 3. 



There will be other speakers 

 from the chapter itself and Gover-
