Yes
None
A brief description of the garden:
Pace has three gardens, one on each of the three campuses:
1. Pace Law students have launched a volunteer Community Vegetable Garden Project, another component of a larger plan to increase campus sustainability. Students hope that the garden will cultivate community involvement and will call attention to the accessibility of gardening on a small, local, and organic scale, which in turn contributes to large-scale sustainability.
2. Pace's Pleasantville campus has an organic herb garden located outside the Environmental Center. The garden was created and is maintained by students and staff. Herbs will be harvested and used by our dining services in their food preparation.
3. The NYC campus created a small rooftop garden under the direction of a full-time faculty member and is maintained by students. The plan is to increase it each year.
None
