Much like the English Building and Lincoln Hall, I’m haunted too. You could say I’m really getting into the Halloween “spirit” 👻

If you haven't heard, we were awarded some grants to help finish the garden renovation!

Until we reach our goal of $7,000, every dollar is matched with 3 more dollars. For example, $25 is matched with $75, which stretches it to $100!

Last year, my team held a special celebration to mark the end of Phases I and II of my renovation. 🎉🎉

To make it even more special, Berries & Flour bakery used acorns FROM MY RED OAK to make the cakes! Pretty cool, huh?

We bet you can’t name a more beautiful campus. 🍁

Go on, we’ll wait. 😏

[iSEE at U of I @sustainILLINOIS]

Did you know there are still 5 Austrian pines on campus that are around 100 years old?🌳

"Rooted in the university’s early history, these century-old trees have been carefully preserved."

Hey, that’s us!

[Red Oak Rain Garden @RainGardenUIUC]

If you’ve walked through the garden, you’ve probably noticed the sculpture – it’s red and wavy and pops up in several different parts of the garden.

But did you know that it represents prairie fire? And that it was designed by a student?

Read about it! https://t.co/JzIVsOFv9f
