Details:
The plans for this project are designed by a UT landscape architecture student. We're taking an unplanted, high foot-traffic area on the south side of Andrews residence hall and turning it into a fragrant, colorful, seasonal garden with native and adapted plants (roses, rosemary, lavender, Beauty Berry, rue, oregeno, and others), limestone paved pathways, and benches to sit on. Any UT student is welcome to come help out and all supplies will be provided, as well as free breakfast.

Thanks to Keep Austin Beautiful for financial support.

Hope you can come and help out!

UA9 finished

Here are some shots of our recently completed garden at UA9. All the plants are looking great, and the users of this courtyard have expressed how grateful they are for the garden. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Before

After

In the mix we've planted mexican feathergrass, gaura, nandina, lantana, salvia greggi, mexican heather, and other plants.

community garden fall 2010

If you're interested in participating in UT's first ever on-campus community vegetable garden Fall 2010, let us know by emailing gardening@utenvironment.org.

This is non-binding; we're just trying to get a count of how many people are interested.

Thanks!
