Growing Season

A sustainable space for teaching, research and outreach, MSU’s Community Garden was designed and built collaboratively by architecture, landscape architecture and graphic design majors in both MSU’s College of Architecture, Art and Design and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Located off of Stone Blvd. behind the MAFES Sales Store, the garden has received awards from the American Society of Landscape Architects and the American Institute of Architects’ Mississippi chapter.
