This petition is to gain support to install a Free Student Garden in the Union, where the old staircase fountain used to be. The produce from this garden would be available to students and faculty, as well as the volunteerism to upkeep and maintain the garden with any clubs that will be participating. This petition is to be presented to the University Administration to approve the design and possible implementation of this garden. Once finished, plans and designs will be available to all students for followup and suggestions. Thank you for your time, attention, and support!

I have spent time recently imagining how the space where the staircase fountain once stood could look if we transform it into a living garden. The interest I have received from various student groups regarding how they might contribute to the upkeep of this site encourages me to keep moving forward with the proposal. My next step is to refine our design plans so we can present a clear vision to the administration.

Seeing this level of support confirms that many people share the vision of transforming the old fountain space into a place that produces sustenance for our community. It is heartening to realize that so many students and faculty value the idea of a collaborative green space on campus just as much as I do.

Make it happen. The campus needs more green stuff and less concrete.

This would be so much better than that dried up old fountain. Bring some life back into the Union!
