Flower and vegetable seedlings growing in the greenhouse

Connecting Campus and Nature

The 湾大学 greenhouse has 800 square feet of growing space, including a small pond. The collection includes a diverse group of old and new world succulents. In addition to providing plant material to support instruction at the College, the greenhouse propagates a variety of plants to support campus and area school gardens, as well as various community garden projects. Past projects have included Esky Grow, the Escanaba Migratory Bird Enhancement Initiative, and monarch habitat restoration projects in the Hiawatha National Forest. A priority is providing a local source of native plants for area gardeners interested in our local flora.

本地植物

Native plants are indigenous to a particular habitat within a specific region. They are adapted to local conditions and have natural defenses to diseases and insect pests. 重要的是, they provide habitat and food for butterflies, 蜂鸟, 鸣鸟, and beneficial insects. When planting, match the plants with their native conditions as much as possible. Once established, they will not require supplemental watering. Native upland dry and dry prairie plants can withstand extended periods of drought.
