Parents Park (above) is located on Central Campus near Lee Residence Hall. Construction is expected to begin mid November. The construction will mainly consist of planting select plants and building planter boxes to line the garden for open student use. Throughout planning and early stages of construction, we are prioritizing building trust with our partners and generating proof of concept of the garden. We have big dreams for this garden in the coming years: if you are curious, long term plans are displayed on our website here. |
