Learning Garden Plan
Here is the initial plan created for the Learning Garden. It is the product of student research, staff and faculty design brainstorming, community input, and Seed Garden Designs. By getting involved with the Learning Garden, you can help grow community and share in the experience of continuing the creation of this beautiful communal space and active learning lab, which will also become a food-producing garden, provide wildlife and pollinator habitat, and serve as a tangible example of sustainable food systems.
