Mackintosh Academy, Mandala Permaculture Garden
As an advisor to University of Colorado Boulder landscape architecture student, Erin Hauer, I oversaw the development of a permaculture garden design and installation at Mackintosh Academy in 2013. Erin worked with the 7/8 grade design class to explore permaculture principles, and rethink a neglected garden space on the schools grounds. Erin developed three permaculture designs based on student criteria. The students then critiqued each and selected the final design. The entire K-8 school community helped install the garden.
