| From Garden |
The Patchwork Garden is located between first-year residence halls and the three chapels. It includes three raised beds with removable coldframes for growing salad greens, garlic and herbs, as well as a berry thicket.
Building raised beds and coldframes required significant research into the agriculture and architecture of New England, as well as environmentally sustainable and non-toxic materials. Once we obtained the administration's approval of a campus garden space and the tools, we secured funding and material donations.
We partnered with local non-profit Healthy Waltham, an organization dedicated to promoting healthy eating in local public schools.
The garden continues to grow and thrive, in every sense of the word.
