Rolling Garden Bed - Beresford
Project Status: Available
Project Overview
Beresford requests the construction of rolling garden beds to support hands-on gardening and outdoor learning opportunities for students. The garden beds should be sturdy, mobile, and designed for student use, allowing them to be easily repositioned as needed around campus.
The rolling garden beds should be painted or finished in a way that positively contributes to the campus’s visual environment. This project will create accessible spaces for students to engage with gardening, science, and environmental stewardship, while also providing opportunities for students to step outside the classroom setting in a calming, hands-on way.
