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.

 
 

A view of the garden beds just
after planting in early June...
 ...and the same view, seven 
 weeks later.  		 A glimpse of new transplants
 from the Growing Gardens plants
 sale.
 
 
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.

to find more in this squash
blossom.		  A freshly watered eggplant
