This image is of the Sustainability Rain Garden behind Jennings Hall. I have my lab for biology in this building and every week I am lucky enough to walk past all of the beautiful plants and flowers. I wanted to know the history of the garden and why it was made and found out that it was produced after the botany and zoology buildings were destroyed in the mid 1950s. Now, they are being used as research in how to protect urban city environments from things like storm runoff. Although the plants look much duller as the beginning of winter nears, I was still able to find a place on campus that I now can appreciate. I now want to look into getting involved in replantng the garden in the Spring.
