UBC Landscape Architecture Masters students on an Ecopoetry Walk to the Orchard Garden

 On January 23, Susan Gerofsky and Amanda Fritzlan were guests in professor Susan Herrington's theory course for graduate students in Landscape Architecture. After a brief introduction to learning gardens on campus and a Q&A in the classroom, we set out into the fresh snowy day to write some ecopoetry sketches on invisible gardens on campus, with three stops (at the original Orchard Garden site, at the Rhododendron Forest, and finally at the Orchard Garden itself).

Here, with the students' permission, are some of the beautiful, deeply thoughtful and contemplative photos and poems (linked here -- please check them out!) that emerged as part of our workshop. 

Bravo to these wonderful new Landscape Architects, and looking forward to many further collaborations!
