Site development will soon begin for a native propagation greenhouse located in an undeveloped lot on campus. Representatives of Gannon University and the Regional Science Consortium broke ground, symbolizing the start of site development for the new greenhouse.
The greenhouse is anticipated to be completed in spring 2024 and will be a year-round, automated, environmentally controlled 21-foot by 72-foot growing space. It will produce native plants for wetland and dune restoration at Presque Isle State Park, vegetable plants for the Gannon Goodwill Gardens, pollinator plants to support the Regional Science Consortium’s Pollinator Pathway by Go Native Erie! and much more.
Gannon University has received generous gifts to support the development of the greenhouse.
