Believe it or not…spring is coming!
If you’ve ever wondered how to grow food or start a garden, here is your chance to learn.
Come help Canisius’ sustainability groups put down good roots for the community garden by planting seeds. Join us for seed planting day on Tuesday, March 13 at 7:30 p.m. in Science Hall 1st floor near the mailroom window. All are welcome. Dress to get dirty. No experience is necessary.
The community garden at 1032 Lafayette Avenue is a cooperative garden on Canisius’ campus in partnership with Oxford Square Block Club, PS #17, PS #74, the Congolese Refugee Communities and others. This garden is at the center of the college’s sustainability initiative. It is a place where Canisius community members, students and neighbors can meet, play, work on their raised beds, grow food, eat food and get to know one another. We have a lot to learn from each other! Read more information about the garden here.
Buffalo’s growing season is somewhat brief, so we will start the vegetable plants by planting seeds indoors. These plants will move into the raised beds when the ground is warm enough.
Contact Dr. Nancy Rourke (rourken@canisius.edu) with any questions.
