Active membership is open to all horticulture graduate students while associate membership is available to any graduate student at Iowa State University. GSHS meets monthly, usually for lunch, and informally at other times throughout the semester. The graduate students host an annual plant swap in the fall and have monthly social activities (recently they have enjoyed tubing at Seven Oaks, movie nights and ice skating). Last fall they volunteered at Reiman Gardens pumpkin carving event, Spirits in the Gardens. In the spring, they participate in the Reiman Gardens plant sale selling vegetable and herb transplants (May 10th-11th, 2025)
