Last Wednesday, the landscape team lead by Chris Erickson along with volunteers Julia Showalter and her biology class and other members of the Biology Department teamed up to install beautiful new native garden between Rankin Science and Varsity Gym.
The garden features native shrubs, perennials and trees that not only enhance the space but also support local ecosystems and serve as a living classroom for biology students.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this project a success!
