1. Pizza Garden Project Kelly Palmer

2. What is a pizza garden?  A large circular garden  Sectioned off to hold different plants  The plants are ingredients found in a pizza For example:  Tomatoes  Basil  Oregano

3. Dimensions  7X7 Hexagon near the black wall  Walls will be 16 ½ inches tall and 6.5 feet long  Hexagon for making the slices easier to make. The walls are necessary because of the small amount of digging room underneath the gravel.

4. What will be needed? (all can be purchased from Home Depot)

5. What makes this project green?  Food provided for the Oaks and other places to eat on campus.  Tomatoes for salads, grilled, and for various sauces.  Basil and oregano for sauces.  Aesthetically pleasing  Pizza gardens are practical and provide something exciting to look at. ALSO! It’s just a small, easy way to reduce our carbon footprint!

6. Plan of Action  Begin as soon as possible!  May 5 th would be a good day to start because if we begin growing the plants early, they will be ready to use by the time Fall semester 2012 begins.

7. Plan of Action  Step 1: Set up the Garden  4 people needed  Lift the garden and put into place  Nail in the walls  Step 2: Put Soil and Fertilizer into Garden  Fertilizer goes only into tomato “slices”  Separate the slices using rocks.  Step 3: Water Soil and Fertilizer Once all this is complete, the garden will look like a hexagon and be ready to plant the tomatoes and herbs.

8. How to Separate the Slices  The small rocks clearly mark out where the slices should go. This adds about an extra $33 from Home Depot.

9. Plan of Action  Step 4: Put the tomatoes into place  Every other “slice”  Step 5: Put the herbs into place  Fill the “slices” between the tomatoes  Step 6: Water the garden again Now all that needs to be done is the upkeep of the garden throughout the summer. The plants should grow properly as long as the garden remains well watered.

10. Pizza Garden  A pizza garden is very practical because not only will we have new varieties of food, but it is also nice to look at! Thank you
