Picture One: Selected Area for the Garden. View is from the front, as if facing the Asia Garden. Flowers will be transplanted and the ground will be graded and quality soil mixed in .

PROPOSED IDEAS

Current area selected for Asian Garden is located in an inner courtyard and is easily accessible to students and teachers. It is also well protected from external, non-Phillips traffic. Current soil and layout conditions are not acceptable to create an Asian Garden and will need to be modified and rebuild before planting and final accessories placement.
