Oak Spring Garden Foundation Announces 2026 Residents & Fellows
OSGF
Oak Spring Garden Foundation is delighted to announce our 2026 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 their stay, residents will spend their days finding inspiration while working in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment.
Applications for the 2027 Interdisciplinary Resident program are now open and close May 31st, 2026.
Each year, we name our residency cohorts after flowers whose names begin with a common letter. For 2026, our cohorts are named for flowers beginning with 'C'.
