Grow Your Own Way: A Sustainability Gardening Series for UConn Faculty & Staff
The Department of Human Resources Engagement & Wellness Unit is pleased to announce that the Grow Your Own Way Program will continue in 2024.
Grow Your Own Way is a 10 month educational series for full-time, UConn faculty & staff, where a cohort of UConn employees will learn about gardening from soil to pests and sustainability from harvest to table. Each month, a themed lesson will be provided in-person or virtually by University experts or experts from our community partners. The program allows the cohort of employees to learn and develop throughout the yearly cycle from germination to harvest.
While most sessions will be held in the evenings from 5:30pm – 7pm, employees will have to use their accrued time to attend monthly sessions if it falls during their scheduled working hours of the University. Virtual lessons will be recorded for viewing at the employee’s convenience.

Registration will open on Wednesday, December 13th, 2023. The program is first come, first served, and limited in slots. We will confirm registration with the program cohort members by January 5th.
