A plan to transform the campus of a Community College in a small town by landscaping with native plants. This will remove urban blight by providing a model of what is possible for a fading downtown to revitalize. Environmentally sound gardens will support butterflies, Monarchs, wildlife, & birds. School colors will be emphasized in the flora. Traditional horticulture gardens will be planted in areas which are visible from surrounding streets.

its own accounting
for its children.”
