My name is Zoe DeWitt and I am currently a sophomore within the program, Taste: What We Hunger For. I have chosen to take on the Evergreen herb garden as my project during the fall and winter quarters because of my interest in the medicinal and spiritual properties of herbs. I find the healing powers of plants and nature to be fascinating; that is truly what drew me to study at Evergreen to begin with.
On this website, students will be able to track the progress of the Evergreen herb garden through the Winter ’22 season. Weekly posts will be created to highlight upcoming work and ideas, as well as a gallery of images and other resources that will share the history of the herb garden along with guiding us in our work throughout the quarter. I will also be posting my personal learning through my ILC, including information on general herb garden maintenance as well as usage of herbs after harvesting. Let’s learn and grow together!
