Ever wonder what building an urban garden looks like? Check out our photo album of the construction of Green Square!
Our decks, planters, and seating were all made completely using wood from trees that have been removed from the UW campus and reclaimed by the UW Salvage Wood Program, which you can read more about here: https://facilities.uw.edu/catalog/salvage-wood

Happy Friday Green Square fans! ⛅️ Here's some photos one of our service learners took of the garden on a beautiful Seattle sunny day yesterday featuring our first crop of vegetables which includes peas, lettuce, cabbage, and chives. Our planters, benches, and deck were all made by the UW Salvage Wood program using only reclaimed wood.
The Green Square Project wouldn't be possible without the UW Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF), and you can find out more about our project's mission at our CSF page here: https://csf.uw.edu/project/742
Have a great weekend, and make sure to stop by the garden to check it out for yourself! 🌿

Last week our new service learners for this Fall quarter met to visit the Green Square garden and get excited about the future of the project! We were surprised to find our planters covered in lady bugs, with hundreds more flying around the courtyard. Has anyone else in the Seattle area seen these guys flying around recently?
It's been a while since our last update, but the Green Square garden is now complete and starting to grow its first harvest! Follow this page and stay tuned, we'll be posting process photos of the construction and of the complete garden over the next few weeks. Or if you can't wait, take a rainy walk through the U District this week and come stop by UW Tower Green Square! 🌿🐞
Hello Green Square fans!
This quarter our team has been coming up with new ideas and functions for the upcoming green square. As a team, we have worked through many obstacles and are excited to announce a new direction for the future green square! Our new design will include more seating for the UW Tower community and provide an environment for the community to relax and enjoy. We have been working hard all quarter with the help of our new and very dedicated service learners and are excited to see these ideas come into fruition!
