Help us create MIT's gardening book!

TThe MIT Activities Committee, MIT Endicott House and MIT Women’s League are excited to introduce you to our next collaborative venture – a gardening book, “Institute Roots,” a publication in support of cultivating horticulture interests throughout our community. We encourage you to participate by submitting your favorite gardening endeavor – whatever it may be! Topical suggestions include: raised beds, box gardening, vegetables, perennial, annuals, harvesting, repotting, landscape design, fruits, greenhouse techniques, sustainability initiatives… all thoughts and ideas are welcome!

Submission formats could include: tips, tricks, advice, photos of your projects or even your favorite spot on campus!  We look forward to digging into your gardening explorations together! A compilation of entries received to be published for the institute community to share.

Ready to get involved?

Head on over to the MIT Endicott House website to upload your submission and ideas via an online form. There's also a place to upload photographs of your gardens, plants, or a spot on campus you admire.
