The Wellness Garden delights students with fragrant herbs and medicinal plants. It was planned and installed to be a perennial garden, meaning it grows for many years, not just one year, like most vegetable crops. To complete this project, volunteers relocated two raised beds, removed rusting perimeter wire fence, and dug out soil to entirely replace old gopher wire with new wire mesh. Round stepping stones guide visitors through. Informative signs teach students about the origin and uses of the plants. The Wellness Garden includes multiple varieties of sages, oregano, chive, mints, thyme, lemongrass, lemon verbena, lavender, aloe, rhubarb, horseradish, lime, and blackberry. You can find out more about the plants in our PlantsMap catalog.
