5. Open website and explain that this is the chart we used to help decide which plants could best help one another grow

6. Explain the seeds we used
All grow quickly for fast results
They’re different sizes for the circle planting of our permaculture garden and they’re all common crops for our regular garden

7. Initial design for Permaculture garden

8. Initial Design for “Traditional” Garden

9. Talk about our thought process in creating both gardens
Permaculture: all seeds planted together, levels of “soil” (soil, cardboard soaked in water, mulch, compost), explain what’s in the compost, circle planting(smaller plants go in middle then the farther out the bigger the plants are)
Regular garden: barriers to keep the plants separate, mimics crops set up that many farmers have

10. These are our gardens today
These are our gardens today. Sadly we don’t have any vegetables for you to try yet but hopefully some will spring up soon.

11. Take AWAYS
“Traditional” Garden was not as traditional enough, it was still designed
Space was limited
Minimal resources used
Better coordination    

12. Moving forward Maintain Current Gardens Donate surplus to student org
Maintain connections in case of expansion
