Carleton Student Project "Eat the Lawn" In City Pages

August 6, 2009

"Eat the Lawn," a Carleton student project that turned an expanse of lawn between Olin Hall and Boliou Hall into a working garden, is featured in City Pages. The project, organized and carried out by the student group Food Truth, tore up a small area and planted all kinds of different vegetables, herbs and flowers. The garden has a plethora of green tomatoes at the moment, and when produce is ready for harvest, is available to all members of Carleton's community. The project is the result of Katie Blanchard's '10 independent study, Growing Public Art.
