Permaculture garden grows food for Trillium

science students Sarah Nechamen '15 and Celine Jennison '14 helped
create a garden outside Kennedy Hall to demonstrate permaculture.
The basil in their pasta or cilantro in their quesadilla may have been plucked from the new garden adjacent to Kennedy Hall, constructed by students last week.
The site will also enable staff and students to stroll around and learn about permaculture – a self-sustaining agricultural system in which herbs, fruits and vegetables are strategically planted so that they work together in mutual benefit. Some plants provide shade, for instance, while others offer pest resistance.http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2013/06/permaculture-garden-grows-food-trillium
