GREENHOUSE RESIDENTS


Prospective undergraduate students interested in Horticulture, should consider the UW Residence Hall GreenHouse program.

Do you want to help create and sustain a green community on campus? Do you look forward to living with people of diverse backgrounds? Would you like to get connected to social and environmental advocacy organizations on campus and in the community? Are you ready to participate actively in shaping the world around you? The GreenHouse is where you out to be.

The GreenHouse in Cole Hall was created to help set students on paths to finding sustainable solutions to social and environmental challenges. GreenHouse residents will join with faculty and staff to explore:

  • food and agrifood systems
  • conservation and biodiversity
  • environmental justice
  • green business, building, and design

You'll be able to enroll in common courses with other GreenHouse residents. You'll also have opportunities to share educational activities that engage all your senses, such as:

  • growing your own food
  • cooking and eating together
  • canoeing the Wisconsin River
  • maintaining the Ice Age Trail
  • analyzing and reducing your carbon footprint
