As part of the night’s activities, which were held in the Junior Common Room, the Lowell House Committee (HoCo) set up a table with miniature pots, potting soil, and blue and white bags of flower seeds to promote supporting the environment through gardening.

The event also included an Eco-Month Clothing Swap with a designated...
