The lab space will improve <br />accessibility and hands-on educational <br />opportunities for students and community <br />members looking to learn about <br />watershed ecology, gardening, and <br />Indigenous history, as well as provide a <br />space for creek groups to host <br />educational public tours for residents. The <br />on -site community garden will expand <br />access to local food production. <br />See <br />What common things do we <br />•� <br />see in our dream garden?
