FROM THE FILES OF
JW ZUNINO

The Alexander Dawson School Organic Garden and Plaza was completed in September. JW Zunino worked in collaboration with LG Architects to have this addition ready for the start of the 2016/2017 school year. Meant to be a hands-on learning experience for the students, the organic garden will allow students to plant, grow, harvest, cook, and explore as part of their regular school curriculum. Over 2100 square feet of organic vegetable beds have been added allowing for a wide variety of crops to be grown as well as 11 different varieties of fruit trees. Enhanced planting beds round out the project to give year long interest as well as, shaded structures, storage buildings, an educational plaza, and a contemplation area.
