Our "will-be" garden of dreams serves both the students and families of Orange Grove, as well as patients and families of Memorial Hospital and the nearby neighborhood.

We’ll have classroom work, as well as plenty of walking around eyeballing work to do in this large garden with newly installed hardscaping for easy patient access. But what this garden still needs is that special native garden touch. That’s where this learning class and instructor Jared Odell come in.

We will divide up in groups and envision the spaces of this "would-be" garden. We’ll make rough notebook sketches/plans and notes. All the while, the instructor will walk among us, hear us, prompt us, add his thoughts. Then we will gather again in the classroom, report our ideas, talk about them and make a plan. We'll design. And we'll do so with an Earth emphasis.

It’s a twofer. It will help and empower Orange Grove and teach and empower us in our own gardens.
