A group of USC ASCE members got up early on this Saturday morning to help completely rebuild an edible garden at Vine St. Elementary School. Tom\u00e1s O\u2019Grady of Enrich LA<\/a> led a team of about 80 volunteers to clear out the old, unmaintained garden and build new raised beds, an irrigation system, a wooden fence, and picnic tables. After six hours in the sun, construction was complete and other groups began planting a variety of vegetables. We got valuable experience that will benefit our design teams\u2019 work, including sanding (we\u2019ll sand our concrete canoe), staining (also staining the canoe), and piping a irrigation system (our environmental design team\u2019s system consists of pipes). Overall, it was a great experience, and we hope to be able to participate in another similar event soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
