Student Greenhouse Project

The Student Greenhouse Project is a group of students working to build a community-oriented, student-run greenhouse for Michigan State University. We want people to enjoy a refreshing, rejuvenating tropical garden throughout the year, especially during harsh Michigan winters.We envision the Biodome to be a student activity center and community focus, an ecological learning center full of living ecology. The ecological strategy entails inviting people into a rejuvenating nature-filled environment and emphasizing the mental health and well-being benefits they are directly experiencing. Immersing people in plants provides the self-taught learning experience that is the foundation of our educational plan. We plant a seed here in one place. Over decades as students come to MSU and carry these experiences with them across the nation and world we believe the life affirming lessons the Biodome will provide will have a great impact.
