2011 Student Workday

On November 2nd, students from Professor Lee's Landscape Architecture class removed evasive plants and cleared the site. The students made sure to pull up the roots of all the kudzu and privet plants so they would not grow back. They also planted figs, blueberries, and rosemary. This process is the beginning state in preparing the site for a future garden.


This is the walkway between Ben's Bikes and Tanyard Creek.
