Project Narrative:

NCSU campus (green path and patch system) and especially the Cate Ave Residence Hall would be a visionary open green space for its residence and also all other NCSU students and visitors. It would be a place of laughter, play and excitement, reflection and meditation, interaction and dialogue, friendship and sincerity, diversity and peace, and education and health. This place is created by scent of art and nature in space. Creating a network of artistic pocket gardens (Green Patch), which are sewn together by ecological corridors (Green Path).

Project Goals:

- Create a place for students to enjoy miniature edible garden.
