The Landscape Design and Management Class gave their formal presentations on Thursday, December 13th. The two, three-person teams each presented their vision for what the area between Vaughn Chapel and the spillway from Adams Lake could look like in the next few years. The students were (l. to r.) Matt Thurman '03, horticulture major; Philip Davis '02, environmental science major; Erich Henschel '03, horticulture major; Derek Woods '02, horticulture major; John Divers '02, agriculture major; and Joe Brunk '02, environmental science major.

     The teams proposed these plans to meet the needs of large groups who use Vaughn Chapel, and to beautify the campus for students' and visitors' enjoyment.

This plan for the Ferrum College Arboretum and Community Gardens incorporates several botanical gardens for educational and aesthetic purposes. One focal point of interest- the large FC, erected in gold bricks, set against black grasses.

This plan is to utilize the indigenous trees in the region and showcase the local heritage of trees and wetlands. This plan would be less expensive to initiate and require less maintenance.
