PSLA Social Media Launch!
The Department of Plant Science & Landscape Architecture has launched their social media accounts this fall! Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!
We want to make sure we're representing our program comprehensively. This provides a great opportunity for students, clubs, faculty and staff to share opportunities, highlights, and events within PSLA with a greater audience and we want your help to make that happen!
As you are sharing posts on instagram this semester, we want to invite you to use the “Collaborator” function to help spread the word about some great things happening in our department! Instructions on how to use this feature can be found at (https://help.instagram.com/5861247717337470/?cms_platform=android-app&helpref=platform_switcher).
If social media isn't your thing, send pictures, news and events to us at psla@uconn.edu and let us post your content for you!!

The Coventry Farmers Market won an award as ‘best farmers market’ in New England several years ago. Talk to local growers, learn how cheese, wine, and fresh pasta are prepared, and purchase some goodies to bring home, including a bountiful range of fresh vegetables and unique prepared foods.
This Farmers Market has been cited as “One of the top ten things to do in New England this weekend” by The Boston Globe, “America’s Most Celebrated Farmers’ Market” by American Farmland Trust, “New England’s BEST Farmers’ Market” by Yankee Magazine AND selected as one of USA Today’s “Top 10 great places to shop at a farmers market!”
The market is held at the Nathan Hale Homestead, 2299 South Street, Coventry, Connecticut.
