Landscape Architecture students in the Jordan School District recently launched a new Profession-Based Experiences program as part of the Governor’s Mansion Goes Waterwise initiative, according to a September 21 report.
Led by JATC South instructor Margaret Ward, students partnered with the Slow the Flow state educational program to remove grass in the park strip of the Governor's Mansion to help conserve water.
The project is being conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, students volunteered time to plant water-wise vegetation along existing drip irrigation lines.
During Phase 2, CTE students will grow drought-tolerant plant varieties at the JATC South Greenhouse and plant them in the spring.
