Campus Nursery
The Campus Nursery is a collaboration between NMU Grounds & Facilities & SHINE (Sustainability Hub for Innovation & Environment). The idea is an adaptation of multiple student submitted Green Fund projects.
Together, we are developing a plant nursery for growing native, nativar and cultivated native species to use in future landscaping projects on campus. The Nursery is located behind NMU's Central Receiving area, exactly where NMU grew a tree nursery decades ago. Today there is a 150-foot x 75-foot parcel to grow plant native trees, shrubs, and bushes.
A native plant intern will help to nurture the plants until they are large enough to be used in campus landscaping projects. In late fall 2024 we will host a planting party in honor of the University's 125th anniversary celebration. Stay tuned for more details!
