Urban Ag Garden

This edible garden tackles food insecurity while providing social space and a secure pedestrian walkway. It is aptly located in full sun along Dudley Road, behind in Martin Hall. The design and trellis structures allow for plants to climb and spread while fencing in the entire garden, which protects it from the many white-tailed deer on campus
