ASUCD Experimental Community Gardens Landscape Remodeling

The ASUCD Experimental Community (EC) Gardens are a unique space on campus where undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and community members can come together to learn how to compost, care for perennial plants, and organically produce food. This project renovates the EC gardens, increasing the accessibility and educational opportunities for those who visit, enjoy, or belong to the gardens. The plan includes improved outdoor meeting and gathering areas, and additional raised garden beds and communal gardening spaces. The renovation will also improve the ecological value of the area by creating a pollinator buffer and incorporating native Californian plants, which will significantly reduce the amount of water currently required to maintain the space and improve the water retention of the landscape.
