Description : Students from Professor Steve Rodie’s Landscape Appreciation course and Ms. Rachael Arens’ Omaha Northwest AP Environmental Science students will work together to design a garden addition for the garden at Northwest High School. The garden will feature plants of various types, including medicinal and pollinator plants as well as a garden to highlight both Native American traditions and the explorations of Lewis and Clark. This P-16 service learning project covers various environmental sustainability and STEAM concepts (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). This project reinforces classroom curriculum for UNO and ONW students by teaching students about sustainable landscape design techniques in a real-world setting.
