Students Construction for Gardens

5/9/2017

 
Picture
Every year students in the Landscape Construction class get to design an area of the Gardens. This year the students are redesigning a corner of the gardens to make it more accessible and stable enough that it will last for generations to come.

Belgard and Brickline Pavers has donated a large and generous amount of commercial grade concrete building material from which we are using to build a new pergola in the gardens. The orginal structure was built in the 70s or 80s and was falling apart, so we thought we should make a change.


This is the first project of many to come where Universal Design is being incorporated to allow accessibility to all, including wheelchairs, so everyone can enjoy our gardens.

We invite everyone to stay tuned and watch the gardens change for the better. The project should be completed near the end of the semester.

    Mission Statement

    Our aim for the Department of Horticulture at Brigham Young University-Idaho is to nurture understanding of both the art and science of Horticulture. Students learn experimentally in the classroom, laboratory, greenhouse, and ten acre Thomas E. Ricks demonstration garden as they pursue an Associates or Bachelors Degree. Using the medium of plants, students develop habits of hard work, enlightened minds, and healthy living that assist in gainful employment opportunitues.
