Grow with Us this Spring Quarter
Thanks to all the residents who came to volunteer during the winter quarter! Even when the weather was sometimes not in our favor, we managed to keep the garden strong. With Spring right around the corner, this is the perfect time to start your gardening journey!
Get on the list for Adopt-A-Plot
Residents can adopt a plot in the Segundo or Tercero garden to steward their own garden space. Adopt-a-plotters will have access to garden materials and mentorship. All free of cost! Apply now before they run out!!
Spring is the perfect time to start gardening
This quarter, we will be growing vegetables like squashes and tomatoes, flowers will be in full bloom, and many plants will reach their full potential! To take advantage of that, our Garden Coordinators will host fun workshops and activities at the garden. Stay connected to be the first one to know!

Get a head start on Move-out during spring break!
Spring break is right around the corner. Warmer days, time to travel, and relax are just some of the things available to enjoy during the break. Spring break can also be a great opportunity to do some cleaning and alleviate the work before move-out arrives. Here are some tips to get a head start:
- Clean up your room and identify items you no longer need. You can start thinking
about the stuff you do not need and minimize the work you need to do during move-out. - If you are going somewhere for spring break, where you can take the items you are no longer using, take some with you. This will help lighten your load for move-out.
- Drop off any gently used items in the reusable bin* at your Area Service Desk or a local second-hand store. *All items are given to the Aggie Reuse Store. You can find more about them on their website.
- Properly dispose of items you no longer need. Follow our Waste Guide if you are not sure how to do so.
- You can upcycle those discarded items into something cool. Take a look at this Upcycling Ideas Guide for some inspiration. This is definitely not your basic spring cleaning!
- If you are traveling or need to leave your room for a while, make sure that windows are
closed to save energy, all unused electronics and cords are unplugged, and make plans to
travel sustainably. Take a look at this Sustainable Travel Guide for more tips.
