The University of Iowa Gardeners have started a new herb and
flower garden by North Hall to grow things like borage (an edible flower),
chamomile, sunflowers, and more. They spent a sunny Friday morning laying mulch
and planting in the black Iowa dirt.
The UI Gardeners have been working with Barry Greenberg,
executive chef for UI Residential Dining, to provide fruits, vegetables, and
herbs for the Iowa Memorial Union from their main garden. The new North Hall
satellite location will supplement that local food supply.
