SUMMARY:Outstanding in Our Field: CSU's Impact on Colorado Horticulture
DESCRIPTION:About this Exhibition\n\nSpring 2026-2027\n\nMorgan Library 
 (Archives & Special Collections Area)\n\nCSU Libraries presents Outstanding 
 in Our Field: CSU’s Impact on Colorado Horticulture\, a new exhibition 
 opening April 3\, 2026\, in CSU’s Morgan Library. On view through Spring 
 2027\, the exhibition details the deep and enduring relationship between 
 Colorado State University and horticulture\, tracing CSU’s lasting impact 
 on food and flower production in Colorado and throughout the world.\n\nMuch 
 of Colorado’s 20th-century economic infrastructure was built on 
 horticultural production\, from sugar beets grown across the Eastern Plains 
 to carnations cultivated in the San Luis Valley. The exhibition illuminates 
 how CSU’s Experiment Station and Extension Service have been at the heart 
 of this agricultural legacy\, equipping farmers\, growers\, and producers 
 throughout Colorado with research-backed knowledge and hands-on 
 training.\n\nCrop cultivation still has a complex and interconnected 
 relationship with Fort Collins and Colorado State University today. Many 
 farms and crop producers throughout Colorado learned their trade using 
 research from CSU’s Experiment Station or through the Colorado Extension 
 Service\, or were educated at CSU. This exhibition explores those ties\, 
 describing the depth in which CSU has helped local communities grow 
 Colorado’s economy and reputation as an agricultural 
 powerhouse.\n\nCurated and designed by Max Fields\, Instruction & Outreach 
 Student Assistant in Archives & Special Collections\, and Silvia Minguzzi\, 
 Exhibition Coordinator & Graphic Designer\, the exhibition draws on 
 materials held in CSU’s Archives and Special Collections to tell a story 
 of scientific innovation\, community partnership\, and agricultural 
 transformation across more than a century.\n\nThe exhibition covers the 
 cultivation of staple crops such as sugar beets and carnations\, the role 
 of the Colorado Extension Service in spreading agricultural knowledge to 
 rural communities\, and the ways CSU research has informed farming 
 practices both locally and globally. Visitors will gain a rich picture of 
 how science\, education\, and community have combined to shape Colorado’s 
 agricultural identity.\n\nFor more information\, visit the library website
