Green & Gold Garden Drip Irrigation System
ALES | $4,000
The Green & Gold Garden on South Campus implemented a drip irrigation system, which reduced the amount of water used, decreased the areas watered to minimize weed growth and yielded more produce. The garden also purchased hoops, shade cloth and propagation trays in order to better adapt to climate challenges.
