“I have had the opportunity to experience building a students’ garden at Congress from the perspective of an educator and as a student. There are two things I can say with certainty. First, it takes a great deal of hard work and passion to build those gardens within those two days. Second, it’s worth every bit of it!”
Mike Mason
Fanshawe Horticulture student
“We worked together, accomplished our goals with a step-by-step process. The class did a great job. The whole two-day experience of working and staying together as a class was exhilarating.”
Blair Cole
Niagara College student
“I feel that the only way to totally understand the complexity of a landscape design build project is to do it. The LO student garden provided me with that critical experience. And it was totally fun.”
