Did you know that there is a greenhouse on-campus?
Welcome to the third episode of a special Learning Communities series focused on self-care. This session features insights and advice on Gardening 101 (including taking care of plants in your home or apartment) for food and relaxation and shines light on our greenhouse.

Contact Dr. Stephen Via at [email protected] for a tour of the greenhouse or to see if you can reserve a spot for your plans.
