Radford University Greenhouse gets major upgrades for next semester

After two years of work, the greenhouse has gotten new equipment

RADFORD, Va โ€“ Students at Radford University with a green thumb will be in for a treat next semester.

After nearly two years of renovations, the greenhouse at the Artis College of Science and Technology has gotten a complete upgrade.

The diverse collection includes plants with medicinal properties, herbs, spices, and fruiting plants.

โ€œItโ€™s here for students to come visit and enjoy there are also classes that utilize the greenhouse... so a lot of hands on in the greenhouse and thereโ€™s also student and faculty research that goes on in the greenhouse,โ€ Greenhouse Manager Stephanie Huckestein said.

Staff plan to start offering tours of the greenhouse once itโ€™s safe to do so after the coronavirus pandemic.
