Thanks for the leaves!


Leaves for the Student Garden!
A big thank you to everyone who has brought leaves for the new Student Garden! We have had an amazing amount of support from the SCC community and we could still use more leaves if you have them. As long as they are already bagged we would be happy to accept them for use on the student garden. There is a map showing where to drop the leaves off after the break. Thanks again!

Event: Help Build the Raised Beds for the new Student Garden!

On November 14th at 2:30pm we are meeting at the ASG Office in the Lair at SCC before heading off to the shop at building 8 to build the raised beds for the new student garden! We are in need of more volunteers and it would be awesome if you all could join us! There is a flier attached to this post. I hope to see you all at the event!

Update: Building the Raised Beds for the Student Garden

Progress is moving forward on the new Student Garden. We now have all the lumber and tools needed to build the nine raised beds for the garden. I want to give a special thanks to Kris and Charlie who came out with me to get the supplies and delivered the lumber to the campus. Also, a very special thank you to the Vets Club, Erin and Art who's help was greatly appreciated and necessary to make this project a success! Pictures of our supplies after the break

Student Garden Bed Construction Event

How many of you like gardening? Would you like to be able to garden in between your classes? Your Student Government is moving forward on the construction of a new student garden and we need your help!

What: Constructing raised beds for the brand new student garden.

Where: Meet at the SCC Student Government Office in the Lair.

When: 2:30pm on Thursday the 14th of November.

- Meet at the ASG Office in the Lair. Garden located north of building 26.

The Student Garden Needs Leaves!

So the Student Government wants your leaves!

Last year your Student Government approved the creation of a new Student Garden on the campus at SCC. This quarter we are in the process of putting the garden in. One of the first steps in this is to use the technique of sheet mulching to kill the grass that is currently at the location.

Sheet mulching takes a ton of leaves and cardboard to be affective. If you have leaves or cardboard that you do not need please bring it to the ASG Office at SCC. We are located in the Lair. Thank you!

-Drop off location for leaves and cardboard (please put cardboard in the ASG office)
