Volunteers learned more about the award-winning UMass Permaculture Initiative at the Franklin Permaculture Garden on Sunday, October 28.
This unique and cutting-edge sustainability program converts unproductive grass lawns on campus into ecological, socially responsible permaculture landscapes that are regenerative and replicable.
The program has been featured in numerous publications including The Boston Globe and Huffington Post. In March 2012, UMass won first-place in the White House Campus Champions for Change Challenge from over 1,400 applications.
