Grounding Environmental Design:

Learning Through a Collaborative Garden

About the Project

The design, development, and maintenance of a campus vegetable garden in collaboration with a local school and other community partners to provide environmental design students with a valuable hands-on learning experience, while helping meet the need for food of local households living in poverty. In progress.

Despite a late start to the season, the veggies and flowers were doing well by August.	Our new sign in the foreground,   a bed full of food behind.	A squash tendril hoping to make  friends with a marigold.
Cabbage, carrots, and beets all growing together.	Ornamental flowers help attract   pollinators and people.	A honey bee doing its thing.
