A brief description of the garden:
The Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, in addition to other resources, has organic garden plots in multiple locations on its grounds. One of the more interesting locations is a terrace garden next to the main facility. The terrace walls are earth bags, covered with different natural plaster materials to demonstrate alternate building materials/methods.
The garden areas are usually planted with crops year-round, incorporating plants for the appropriate season. The garden soil is supplemented with compost derived from CCAT or other campus sources by the CCAT student gardeners. Produce from the garden is consumed by the live-in CCAT Co-directors and students attending CCAT functions.
