Karen Midden, professor of agriculture, searches for an open spot Thursday to add new plants to the agriculture building’s vertical garden. Midden was planning a place for the new Purple Passions so she could plant them on the building’s new green wall today. Students from the architecture, engineering and forestry programs have collaborated with the agriculture department to create the vertical garden. “It shows students in different fields the opportunities of how they can bring plants into a built environment,” Midden said.
