What is the Full Circle Greenhouse?

The Full Circle Greenhouse is a student-run, passive solar, winter greenhouse project committed to engaging CSB and SJU in the process of growing local food. Greenhouse produce is mostly sent to campus dining facilities or sold at tabling events on campus. Both greenhouses are managed by the Sustainability Office. A team of volunteers are essential for fall planting, regular watering, periodic harvesting, tabling, and delivering fresh produce from the greenhouses.

There are two deep winter greenhouses, one on each campus, that are operate as Full Circle Greenhouse. The CSB greenhouse is located on the south end of campus along the road leading to Grounds and Transportation. The SJU greenhouse is located in Flynntown just west of the Vincent Court apartments.

Our Team in Action!

A person stands smiling in a greenhouse, holding two large paper bags filled with greens. The greenhouse is filled with various thriving plants, including leafy greens in raised beds and vertical growing systems. Natural light streams through the translucent roof panels.
Look at those greens!

Planting the first seeds of the year!
A group of five people stand inside a greenhouse, each holding a gardening tool. They are working on what appears to be a gardening or landscaping project, as the ground is bare soil. The group is smiling and appears to be taking a break from their work.
Weeding is our FAVORITE activity!
