South Carolina Nurseryman

2017

Between Barre and Lehotsky Halls on the Clemson campus lay two demonstration garden beds. When school is in session the sidewalks that intersect and border these beds are alive with students moving between classes; and faculty, staff, and visitors traveling between buildings. The garden is visible from ground level and second story offices and classrooms as well. The sustainable landscape demonstration garden installation is designed as a model of the urban environmental education garden—a space designed to intrigue, invite, entice, and involve viewers in the hopes of eliciting behavior change. The practices we are demonstrating are eco-friendly sustainable garden design, installation, and maintenance. Students from numerous horticulture classes (Sustainable Landscape Garden Design; Horticulture Inquiry and Discovery; and Landscapes + Health) were involved in all aspects of the project-design, installation, maintenance.
