Sustainability Action Day
Wednesday, March 27, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Temple University Ambler Campus Greenhouse, 580 Meetinghouse Road
Join Horticulture students and staff at Temple University Ambler and help remove invasive species and plant native shrubs in the Woodland Garden. This garden is an integral part of our campus — it was originally planted by the students of the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women during the 1920s. Students and staff have begun the long process of removing the English Ivy that has spread throughout the Garden. By re-planting with native species, it will be harder for English Ivy to return. The new plantings will also give the Woodland Garden more biodiversity and will increase the teaching collection. All skill levels are welcome to participate! It will be a great opportunity to learn more about plants and meet people. Participants will meet at the Ambler Campus Greenhouse. Be sure to wear protective shoes and dress for the weather. Limited supplies of work gloves and tools will be available, and snacks and drinks will be served by Pi Alpha Xi, the National Honor Society for Horticulture. Information: 267-468-8168 or eisenman@temple.edu.
