Fwd: Greenhouse Meeting @ Hampshire (Cole Science) FRIDAY 9:30 am (this week)

[Ned Phillips-Jones]

Hey yall,
This orientation seems like a cool way to plug into local biodiversity
efforts and use the college's infrastructure to do so. Naya Gabriel is the
awesome NS lab manager (& wellness fair organizer). Felix is a
knowledgeable (and entertaining) practitioner involved in a lot of
sustainability-related projects in the area. I've got some spicebush and
perennial onion seeds to add to the list too.

peace,
N

Hi folks,
Having a meeting with Naya, the greenhouse manager, and anyone doing w/s
with HYS who can make it this friday at 930. (this is also called the
bioshelter). If you CANT make it, no problem, just let me know and I will
follow up with you personally. We're just going to get oriented to the
space we'll have there to plant, and do a little starting of perennial
seeds.

We'll have a number of species going:
chestnut, apple, grape, persimmon, pawpaw, pear, echinacea, herbs like
chives, comfrey, etc.

Many of these will find homes on campus, the others for other off campus
HYS / CEL related planting projects, and will provide stock plant material
for ecological design projects you may wish to take on.

There will be opportunities for 1-2 hours per student, per week in the
greenhouse alone -  to visit the plants, inspect their growth and water
level, and browse some written materials.


Please let me know if you think you can be there or NOT, and I will plan
accordingly.
Thanks,
Felix
