Oak Creek Center For Urban Horticulture

Many of you likely drive by this sign on 35th St every day or maybe every week, but how many of you know about the gardens located here? Student projects are completed here - like the green roof project. Flowers are grown in test beds every year. Bee hives are maintained for study by the Entomology Department, which used to be responsible for the entire site before the Horticulture Department got involved. And lots of awesome produce is grown; some of the produce is even sold to cafeterias throughout campus provding fresh locally grown food as healthy food choices for students, staff and visitors.
