Campus Display Garden Matures

One of the landscaping and horticultural projects now underway on the Pullman campus is a new Display Garden under construction by students in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. Arising from the cement foundation of two old greenhouses, the display garden is becoming a beautiful addition to campus green space adjacent to the Lighty Student Services and French Administration building.

If you haven’t walked by the display garden since spring, when students began major construction, you should compare what you see now with the early construction photos below. You’ll be quite surprised. The display garden now provides campus residents and visitors with a place to relax and enjoy the horticultural landscaping that will be developed over several years.
