A Sustainable Garden Grows in Savannah
The Savannah College of Art and Design's new apiary and organic garden celebrates the university's 40th anniversary and the teaching power of the garden. HGTV takes a tour of SCAD's Back40 garden.
SCAD Builds a Garden
The bee is the Savannah College of Art and Design's mascot, "a unique icon of industry" says SCAD president Paula Wallace. The bee is also the star of a new organic garden and apiary legacy project and teaching tool at the college where students can learn about a host of relevant topics including garden design; sustainability; use of plants in beauty and fragrance products; the use of beeswax in jewelry-making and painting; and how to dye fabrics using plants. In just about every way SCAD Back40 is the perfect, holistic teaching tool and laboratory for a school perpetually expanding its approach to incorporating real world practices into its curriculum.
