Community Garden聽

In the spring of 2015, McGill鈥檚 outdoor learning space was created to explore new and different ways of promoting sustainable devolvement and ecological literacy. Eco-literacy can be defined as the understanding of the relationships between natural systems that make human life on our planet possible. This initiative began with the construction of a community garden located between Coach House and Duggan House (and between聽Peel and McTavish streets). Since inauguration, many faculty members, staff, and students have used the garden/outdoor learning space for teaching, research, and enjoyment purposes.
