The greenhouse is up and running!

As the beautiful Maine summer begins to unfold, things on the USM Gorham campus are growing! The patio of Brooks Student Center is now garden-central. With the greenhouse at one end and cedar raised beds stretching along the fence, it is lovely to behold. And to think, we'll be able to eat all of this!

USM Dining Services has always had sustainability in mind. We have now taken it a step further by working towards growing some of the food served to students and staff in the dining hall. Herbs and vegetables will be growing over the summer in the raised beds and year-round in the greenhouse. They will be featured on the menu throughout the school year so keep an eye out for those, especially in the fall.
