Welcome from the MSU Chartwell's Green Team

Hey guys! This is Sam and Ally with the Chartwell's MSU Green Team. We wanted to introduce ourselves and catch you up to speed with what we have been working on!
Sam and I are both students in MSU's College of Agriculture. Sam is an environmental plant science major with an emphasis in crop science with a minor in horticulture. I am earning my major in environmental plant sciences as well but I have an emphasis in horticulture with a minor in agronomy.
Chartwells and MSU wanted to take a step towards being more sustainable so they came up with this marvelous idea of starting a hydroponic grow room in the Kentwood dining hall! The purpose of this hydroponic room is to supply fresh produce to the dining halls and kitchens on campus. Currently we are growing a variety of herbs, such as parsley and Basil, as well as Red Cherokee Lettuce. We have plans to expand on these species of plants as well!
If you are interested in keeping up with our progress and seeing many pictures follow our blog! We are excited for this journey and hope you will join us!
