Farm to Table Project- STEAM Collaboration with Horticulture


​Architecture Drafting and Design students, led by student project manager Ashley Lewis, design and construct planters for the horticulture department. Planters will be used to grow produce for the Farm to Table project - a STEAM collaboration with multiple classes including Culinary, Engineering and Environmental Science where produce will be grown and given back to the community.
