The Bobcat Bloom floral program is administered through the horticulture program in the Department of Agriculture at Texas State University (San Marcos, TX) and began in 2005/2006 as a means of fundraising to obtain additional resources for the horticulture program. Students grow plants in horticulture courses and are then involved in learning to market the products to actual on-campus clients. The Bobcat Bloom program also serves the campus community by offering discounted floral products to the departments and student organizations for various on-campus events.

Products are offered for sale to faculty, staff, and students in varying ways. Weekly to monthly emailed newsletters are sent out by the faculty member in charge of the program to those on a by-request mailing list. The newsletter lists available floral arrangements and potted plant products available for sale. The newsletters also provide information on garden/landscape requirements for each type of merchandise offered. Regularity of the newsletter depends on the availability of stock. In addition to weekly to monthly specials, at least twice annually, there is a larger plant sale hosted by the program and students at the campus greenhouses.
