Renovation of the Teaching Gardens
The Teaching Gardens Project will revitalize the campus Horticulture Department’s teaching gardens, ensuring they remain a valuable hands-on learning space for undergraduate students. These gardens will also support the launch of a new graduate program focused on holistic management of teaching, public, and community gardens. Community support will help fund essential supplies—plants, bedding, soil amendments, and tools—needed to create diverse garden plots. Meeting our goal will allow us to introduce new themed spaces, while additional funding will establish a strong foundation for innovation and expanded engagement across campus and the state.
