Gardens/Plantlife
Description : The Newman Center Bible garden landscape and the papio-creek tree planting event drew Newman Center students and UNO engineering students from Avery Schwer and Bing Chen’s classes at UNL, Creighton Biology and sustainability students and the College of Saint Mary’s Earth Science course students. Students from the UNO Center for Urban Sustainability participated in the event. Approximately 69 UNO and UNL students and boy scouts volunteered that day. Surrounding neighborhood residents participated also. We received much media coverage. The Newman Center garden and raised beds event had an estimated 25-30 Newman Center students participating in the planting of shrubs and perennials.
