Free State garden grows beyond class project to aid campus and community
Elijah Ditto and Maya Sabatini helped launch a rain and permaculture garden in spring 2020 led by Julie Schwarzing. Students expanded it into a campus asset with tours of other gardens and a crash course on city permits. Leaders Finkelder and Flachsbarth keep weekly care, promising storage builds and classroom integration while donations to the cafeteria and food banks assist Lawrence students and community.

Kansas City, Manhattan and Overland Park lead among large centers while Lawrence trails the state and sits near the bottom of the 10-trade centers. The upcoming months will test how student return affects retail spending as Manhattan and Lawrence diverge in recovery.
