Join Facilities Services for the annual campus flower planting on June 5 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. A table will be set up in front of Constitution Hall where volunteers can sign up for a raffle for two flower baskets to be given away! Plants will be placed at the flower beds, along with bed plans. We will also have a set of the plans at the table for people who stop by. Rulers and trowels will also be provided to help with the planting.


Farm buildings, many painted red, sit on a hillside surrounded by fenced pens, fields and forests of aspen, birch and balsam poplar turned golden by the fall season.
