TSC Architecture students drew up blueprints; Construction students built out the greenhouse space and adjacent toolshed; Economic students researched the economic impacts and benefits of the garden; Biology students spread awareness by giving out pots, soil, and seeds; and Teaching students collected food to initially stock the pantry.
