Dedicated on April 21st, 2009 the North Campus learning garden was designed to engage
students, faculty and guests in appreciating the native plant and wildlife of Chester
County. Plantings such as red chokeberry, joe pye weed, hyssop, berry bushes, and
many others draw in songbirds (and squirrels) to the feeder watch site. Art classes
use the area for inspiration and environmental studies students are often there as
well.
The garden is maintained by student interns, work-study students, and volunteers under
the supervision of Dr. Cassie Striblen.
The outdoor classroom was expanded to include a vegetable and herb garden managed
by faculty, staff, student interns, and volunteers.
