Gardens—Rhinebeck Campus

Enjoy blooms of color in Omega's tranquil, organic gardens all season long. Sit, contemplate, and listen to the sounds of nature in the Meditation Garden. Inhale the rich scents of herbs, vegetables, and flowers in our popular Omega Garden. Omega's garden experience extends inside, too. Meals at the Omega Café are often seasoned with herbs from the Omega Garden and flowers from the Omega Garden are found in colorful arrangements throughout campus buildings.

Some of Omega's gardens are practical as well as beautiful. The plants in the greenhouse at the Omega Center for Sustainable Living (OCSL) help to purify our wastewater so it can be used to irrigate campus grounds. You can see the beauty and functionality of the greenhouse up close with an OCSL tour. Look for tour schedules posted on kiosks throughout campus.
