One of the benefits of having a greenhouse on campus? Plant sales! Last week, UVM Greenhouse hosted their Oddball Plant sale. Mums, ferns, and spiderwort, oh my!
Aside from hosting plant sales, the main campus greenhouse serves as an education and research hub for students and affliates.

What happens to wheat, oats, and barley production when winters are too warm?
FSRI PhD Fellow Hannah Shafer studies the genetics of grasses to understand how rising winter temperatures might impact the development and productivity of these cereal crops.

UVM Fermentation Club's proud to be up to something funky. Last semester, you could find them selling their very own kombucha, hosting a hot sauce making workshop, making sourdough starter, and more! While a newer club, they really know their stuff. We can't wait to see what they bubble up next!
