The MG Intern class of 2010 designed and installed the "Native and

Rose Garden
The rose garden has lost a lot
of plants due to rose rosette, so we have decided to wait a little
bit to see if the bed is still infected. At the same time we are
planting perennials and annual rose companion plants. We have taken
cuttings at the botanical garden and it looks like about 40 roses
have rooted. We will baby them till the fall and replant at that
time.

Composting Site
We recycle the Demo Garden’s tree and plant trimmings to decrease landfill waste. We then use that compost in all areas of our demo garden. We also educate students on the importance of composting and the steps involved in creating and maintaining compost sites.
