While the timing was coincidental, students in Nina Bassuk’s and Peter Trowbridge’s ‘Creating the Urban Eden’ course (HORT/LA 4910/4910) installed a new landscape in front of Mann Library on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.

As a capstone experience, the class (aka Woody Plant Selection, Design and Landscape Establishment) transforms an area of campus. Recent renovations include the Mann Library courtyard, the north side of Plant Science Building, the west side of Roberts Hall, and the George Good Memorial Garden on the south side of Plant Science.
