New Green Wall Brightens Horticulture Building

June 13, 2025 - Included in Issue: 25-23

Karen Sullivan and student workers install plants in the green wall.

This week, the Horticulture building welcomed a vibrant new addition: a stunning green wall installed just outside the main office on the second floor. This lush vertical garden not only enhances the aesthetic of the space but also promotes sustainability and well-being through its natural beauty and air-purifying benefits.

Special thanks to Karen Sullivan for leading the project and to the student gardeners who helped bring it to life. Stop by and enjoy this fresh touch of nature!
