Oak Spring Garden Foundation Announces 2025 Interdisciplinary Residents
OSGF
Oak Spring Garden Foundation is delighted to announce our 2025 Interdisciplinary Residency cohorts. The Interdisciplinary Residency program is our flagship residency program and began in 2021.
Residents work in varying disciplines including plant science research, ecology, visual arts, creative writing, literature, humanities, and more. Each cohort spends five weeks or two weeks living and working on site where they can utilize OSGF’s resources, including our library, landscape, and Biocultural Conservation Farm.
The hope is that during the 5 weeks residents will spend their days finding inspiration while working in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment.
Applications for the 2025 Interdisciplinary Resident program will open in February and close May 31st, 2024.
