Sustainability Month is here! And we have some great workshops lined up for you this year. Join ABCompost & CHAP as they headline workshops on vermicomposting, sustainable pumpkin carving, and herbalism. Fungifest will be hosting two workshops in our space on the 22nd, with some fun little prizes too.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study, a spot to connect with plants, or a way to stay involved with our ongoing workshops and activities, the Greenhouse continues to be a welcoming space for everyone.
Your continued support and involvement are what make this community space thrive, even in this new home.
