SUNY Oswego opens gardening hours for students to enjoy

  Oswego students can appreciate open garden hours on Fridays from 1 to 3 p.m. located between Lee Hall and  Richard S. Shineman Center. 

    The garden is called the Permaculture Living Laboratory. “Students, faculty, and anybody interested can come by and garden in the PLL. It’s a place where we’ve tried to consistently grow both food crops, flowers, and other things,” said Barnaby Hurst, an intern at The Office of Sustainability.

     PLL serves as a reminder of campus sustainability values, and is an example of what sustainable gardening and farming practices can look like. 

    “Volunteering is essential to the maintenance and success of the garden,” Hurst said. Even though flowers may not be blooming yet, the open hours will be taking place every Friday throughout the rest of the semester, giving students a chance to practice their green thumb.
