Donations towards the greenhouse are very welcome and appreciated.
The Department of Biological Sciences will host another Garden Plant Giveaway / Donation Event. We are offering seedlings of flowering plants, herbs and vegetables. We would like everyone to get a plant, so it will be restricted to 2 plants per visitor.
New this year will be a little seed package of selected native perennial wildflowers (great for pollinators!) and a large selection of heritage bean seeds. We recommend that you bring something to carry your little plants home in to protect them;, keep your plants indoors until end of May, and then introduce them to the outside very slowly.

Director: Matt Tyrnauer, 2016, USA, 92 min
Citizen Jane: Battle for the City is a story about America’s recent urban past, in which bureaucratic, “top down” approaches to building cities have dramatically clashed with grassroots, “bottom up” approaches. The film brings us back mid-century, on the eve of the battles for the heart and soul of American cities, about to be routed by destructive Urban Renewal and highway projects.
The film details the revolutionary thinking of Jane Jacobs, and the origins of her magisterial 1961 treatise The Death and Life of Great American Cities, in which she undercuts her era’s orthodox model of city planning, exemplified by the massive Urban Renewal projects of New York’s “Master Builder,” Robert Moses.
