This panel will focus on discussions around environmental sustainability as found in horticulture and architectural design. During our respective internships, we all engaged similarly in hands-on work and collaborated with our tepms to preserve and create physical spaces. Our projects focused on creating beautiful spaces for our intended communities to enjoy. Additionally, the issue of conservation presented itself differently for each of us in our work and our presentations will dive deeper into how this impacted our projects. We all had the opportunity to sustain different types of spaces and ensure that they can be valued and utilized in the future. Come to our discussion showcasing our project results and how the issues we encountered affected our work in exciting ways!
