Mission Statement: Bernheim will be a nationally treasured leader in ecological stewardship that inspires the exploration of our deep connections with nature.
Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is designing an innovative sustainable community garden which highlights the relationships of plants and people, demonstrates sustainable design and ecosystem gardening techniques, sparks and expands the imagination, and enlightens the principles of science and nature in living systems. The Edible Garden project is an applicant to the Living Building Challenge (www.living-future.org), a rigorous design challenge that requires consideration of all aspects of design as they relate to the long-term ecological footprint.
