Overview
The Healthy Landscape Demonstration Gardens, under the guidance of a top expert in sustainable urban gardening, is a pilot project and model for all NYU grounds. Three unused plots behind Coles Sports Center with a total area of over 3000 square feet was transformed into attractive, chemical-free demonstration gardens to display the methods and principles of sustainable gardening and organic land care. Native plant selections and soil fertility management will combine to create a self-renewing landscape. Students and faculty will have access to these gardens for research purposes.
This project is led by George Reis, Gardener, NYU Garden Shop
