Past Events

Foraging Workshop - 6/28/2024

Our Vice President, Anthony Taylor lead a foraging workshop at the garden. Participants learned about edible plants outside of the usual fruits and vegetables planted at their plots - and even got to try some samples from native PA plants! 

Intro to Gardening Workshop - 5/9/2024

Our exec board lead an hour long introduction to the garden, including timings of plantings, companion plantings, pollinator-friendly plants, common diseases, and more. A few brave gardeners braved the incoming rain to help us with a workday at the garden after the workshop as well! 

Garden Grow-How - 3/25/2024

The PSU Community Garden had a table at the Student Farm’s Garden Grow-How on March 25 at the HUB’s Heritage Hall. The Grow-How featured succulent giveaways, composting information, door prizes and other helpful gardening resources. At our table, we shared information about starting plants indoors and modeled an aquaponic system, grow lights, and some seedlings.It was great to see several new and returning PSU Community Gardeners to soak in all of the resources offered by the incredible PSU agriculture and gardening community!

Bee Hotel Workshop -  3/16/2024

Almost 30 gardeners came out to help cut, drill, and stack logs and bamboos inside both of our handmade bee hotels! Bee hotels are incredibly important to the success of our community gardens, as they provide shelter for over 400 species of solitary bees found in Pennsylvania, which then pollinate our garden plants.
