Thank you to everyone who attended our open house at Oak Creek Center for Urban Horticulture!

Over 85 community members visited to learn about the research and activities being done at OCCUH. They learned about the Oregon Native Bee Atlas, developed by the Pollinator Health Lab; the Honey Bee Lab’s research into bee health and nutrition; the Dry Farming Project’s research into growing crops with no water in the Willamette Valley; the Benton County Master Gardeners’ events and activities in Benton County; and the Organic Growers Club’s CSA and engagement with OSU students. Representatives were also present to talk about the Reciprocity Garden and the social justice work and student engagement it facilitates. There is such great work that goes on at OCCUH; thank you to everyone who took the time to table and explain what they do.

We had a great time learning about all the activities and research being done at OCCUH and we hope to see everyone again next year!

Our participated in the National Collegiate Landscaping Competition this year and had a blast.
Next year it's in Utah-- students from any major and campus can participate (hint hint) but it's geared towards those interested in a landscape/arboriculture career path.
