Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens host a variety of university, community, and industry events in our gardens. Many are open to the public while others are reserved for members of specific organizations.  Our calendar of events includes all events, while highlighting those that are open to the public. We hope you will join us for one of these events soon.

  2. Plant Talk: Native Seed Sowing Workshop

    Nov 12, 2025, 9:00am - 11:00am

    Join volunteer Joe Carter for a workshop all about processing and sowing native seeds over winter! This will be both educational and hands-on, with the goal of providing resources for you to use at home. We will use seeds collected from the arboretum, and all plants grown will be used to increase native plantings around OSU's campus. All are welcome to attend, and no registration required. This event is rain or shine.
