Fall Harvest in the Garden!
Welcome Back to Campus!
The community garden did a lot of growing while you were away! As you are settling back into school life, include some time to check out this colorful section of your campus. The plan of the Sustainable Life Club is to make salsa with the ripening produce. Learn more at the activities fair on September 12.
Mid-summer Garden
The frequent rains of June produced abundant growth in our raised beds. Check out the following July photos!
Spring Planting in the Garden
Ever wondered what those stakes were doing in the garden? How about those hay bales? Or the new ditches near the compost bins? The Sustainable Life club has worked hard to get this season’s crop planted this spring and ready to harvest when we come back to school in September. We have dug those ditches, pitched the stakes, and laid the hay bales in order to learn a little about agriculture and make salsa at the beginning of the school year.
Open Mic: Music to Light a Village
The Sustainable Life Club is partnering with OWLI to put on Open Mic: Music to Light a Village on Sunday, May 12th at 7pm in the Chapel. The event will showcase the musical talents of Williston students while benefiting OWLI’s initiative in Kenya to replace kerosene with solar panels for lighting. Students may schedule an audition for the event by emailing Maggie Dewey ’13 at mdewey@williston.com
OWLI, the One World Leadership Institute, works to create learning environments that foster the development of critical thinkers who will become the ethical leaders of our ever-changing world. Specifically, OWLI works to create sustainable student-run businesses in Kenya. OWLI’s solar panel project will provide students in a Kenyan village the first solar panels to get their business started.
