GRLA Community Garden

Systems Thinking | Team Work | Graphic Design | Stakeholder Engagement

The GRLA Garden was a stakeholder based project. I interviewed end users, students and faculty that would use the garden, similar users, teachers and students of schools in the area that do have gardens, experts, curriculum creators and farmers in order to understand how the garden could be designed and implemented in a way that creates the most value and benefits the end users. 

I created the GRLA Garden flyer to advertise the garden and draw student, faculty, and staff engagement. The GRLA Garden is is community garden model that thrives with true connection and engagement. The garden offers a spot for participants to grow plants, connect with like minded people, and have a spot surrounded by nature to get away from the stress on campus.

I also created a community garden app prototype with Basalmiq to engage with stakeholders and gather feedback on the design. The app would allow users to find and connect with community gardens near them, brining people together and expanding community gardens in suburban and urban areas.
