Hey Broncos! 🐴

Spring is one of the best times to learn how to grow your own food! 🌷

Along the way, learn skills you can use beyond the classroom, including small-scale growing techniques you can use in your own backyard or garden. Students will get the chance to connect with the campus community and support the Poly Pantry. 💚💙

Open to all students! No experience necessary. Just come ready to learn, grow and Become by Doing.

A look back at the final day of the design-build workshop at the Lyle Center! 🌿☀️💧

The three-day workshop was hosted at the Lyle Center in partnership with Cal Poly Pomona’s Department of Landscape Architecture, led by Professor Rennie Tang and made possible through funding from the SPICE grant. During the workshop more than 100 students came out to participate.

Students also had the opportunity to work alongside visiting landscape architecture practitioners David Godshall and Kasey Toomey of TERREMOTO in Los Angeles, David Hill of HILLWORKS in Auburn, Alabama and François Vadepied and Mathieu Gontier of Wagon Landscaping in Paris, France.

We enjoyed getting to capture the final day. A big thank you to everyone who helped make the workshop possible!

A glimpse of our Day of Service at the Lyle Center last week 🌱🪨

Throughout September, we’ve been reflecting on what service means to us and the “why” behind the work we do. Our time at the Lyle Center gave us the opportunity to experience firsthand what our partner sites have to offer and connect more deeply with the spaces we serve.

From weeding and mulching to rock hunting and creating herb bundles, we had the chance to care for and support the Lyle Center grounds while learning along the way.

Thank you to the Lyle Center for welcoming our cohort and giving us the opportunity to connect and grow together. 💫

It was such a joy working with the incredible students and lovely faculty at @cppla (and @cppenv) to edit, tend, and tweak the foraging gaggle at the @lylecenter. Such a delightful time of full-scale experimentation and exploration. Can’t wait to watch this garden evolve!

And thank you Rennie Tang, Nina Briggs, and Lorena Garcia for making this happen, and for being such generous hosts! Let’s do this again SOON @wagonlandscaping and @terremoto_landscape! taken in Lyle Center by @lylecenter
