Hope everyone had a wonderful week!
After writing the post on the Pawpaw plant, I realized I really want to tell you guys a bit more about the Edible Ecosystem. Located on the slope below the Whitin Observatory, the Edible Ecosystem Teaching Garden (EETG) is a designed plant community that mimics the properties of a natural ecosystem but produces food and other products useful to humans (specifically, students!) with a minimum of maintenance.
For me, it has served so many purposes- from a space to decompress to a place to pick the finishing herbs for a dish my friend and I have made on a slow Sunday evening, the EETG is definitely one of (if not, my ultimate) favorite spot on the Wellesley campus. Below are a few plants that are currently blooming, but it doesn’t even begin to capture the variety and beauty of the space in its entirety.
For that, you have to go visit yourself! 🙂
