Earth Day celebrated with planting of flower garden

earth1A group of Tusculum College students, staff, and faculty gathered late Wednesday afternoon to celebrate Earth Day by planting a flower garden at the Honors House. The Pioneer Green Team, a new student organization promoting recycling and care for the environment, organized and coordinated the effort to plant the special garden at the Honors House, residential housing for students in the college’s academic Honors Program. Two other student organizations, Pioneering Music on Campus and the College Democrats, donated funds for the purchase of trees, shrubs, flowers, planting soil, a bird feeder, bird seed, and other planting supplies. The garden will be a continuing project with plans to add to it in coming years.
