Through a partnership with UK Grounds in Facilities Management and the Lewis Honors College, students in this fall’s honors course titled “The Lexington Ecosystem” took the lead in preparing and planting the pollinator garden, which was designed by students in last spring’s “Urban Restoration Ecology” course, taught by Senior Lewis Lecturer Kenton Sena, Ph.D.  

“Anytime students can get involved, it’s great,” said Hunter Garner, UK Grounds team lead for Area 2. “It’s a more organic experience when they get to plant it themselves and it also gives them ownership in the physical environment where they live and study.”
