The Associated Students has  proposed a “Culture Garden” to showcase sustainable farming methods on campus.  The garden will be enclosed with a fence and amenities include a storage shed, weather station, sink and compost bin. Outside the enclosed space will be an informal outdoor classroom, pergola, interactive sundial, bird bath and herb garden. The garden planters will be irrigated with a drip system that can be adjusted by students as they plant and the remainder of the site will receive permanent irrigation.  The plants adjacent to the garden planters will be low water consuming and support the program of the Demonstration Garden. Storm water will be collected and stored in a below grade cistern with a pump for hand watering.
