About SHRE

  • SHRE Logo
    In December of 2006, the Board of Trustees of the renowned Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation decided to transform its $1.15 million in assets into a new horticultural endowment at UC Davis. This gift established the Saratoga Horticultural Research Endowment (SHRE) to support research and educational programs that foster the introduction of new and improved plant materials for California gardens and landscapes.
  • The endowment is managed by the chair of the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California, Davis. The distribution of funds is through a yearly grant program developed and overseen by the SHRE Advisory Committee.
