Ecohouse Events

I'm happy to announce some upcoming events that will present OU students with an opportunity to get involved with the Office of Sustainability! 

Service Learning Events:
Tuesday September 25, 2012 (3:00-5:00pm); Wednesday September 26, 2012 (2:30-5:30pm)
 
*Canning/Preserving Food: staff will be present to demonstrate how to harvest, prepare and preserve food! The food preserved will be used for a community meal on November 16 of this year! 
*Location: Ecohouse Community Garden (behind the ridges on Dairy Lane)

Ecohouse Garden Work Day:
Wednesday October 3, 2012 (12:00-3:00)
     This is the area that needs our attention!
*Landscape Work Day: This will be the first garden work day of the semester! Our goal is to clear out all the weeds and grasses that have been left to grow freely- some may be native, but we would like to renovate the area and create a seating area for students to enjoy, as well as add native flora that will attract pollinators! Come ready to work! E-mail Markie with questions about this event: mm633111@ohio.edu

*Please dress appropriately for this event: for your safety no open toes or exposed feet please! Wear work clothes, but avoid inappropriate language or images- thank you!

Pumpkin Canning:

Location: Ecohouse

*Pumpkin Canning: Get into the Halloween and harvest spirit with the Office of Sustainability! Staff will be present to demonstrate how to harvest, prepare and  preserve food! The food preserved will be used for a community meal on November 16 of this year!
