LIBERTY, NY (January 8, 2014) – Sullivan County BOCES and Cornell Cooperative Extension are collaborating to build a Learning Lab Greenhouse.

Located at the CCE campus on Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty, the lab will be used for formal and informal educational programs, while providing the community with access to hands-on horticulture programs.

Both partners will gain experience through the installation of the unit and also benefit from having a teaching greenhouse for a variety of their programs like the Master Gardeners, nutrition programs, and Natural Resources program. 

The greenhouse will also serve as the prime location for storing Sullivan Renaissance’s starter plants, trees and shrubs until they can be planted outdoors. 

The Natural Resources and Construction and Electrical Technology programs at BOCES are assisting in the site preparation and erection of the greenhouse.

For more information, please contact the Cornell Cooperative Extension at 845-292-2154 or Sullivan BOCES at 845-295-4000.
