        School Gardens vs. Landscaping
          •  There is a significant difference between the school garden
            initiative and landscaping or beautifying a school campus.
            Anything beyond a school garden (a specific, contained
            space on a school campus growing fruits, vegetables,
            herbs, flowers and fruit trees) is considered landscaping
            and different protocols  outside the parameters  of this
            guide are required.
          •  Although  some  plants  may  be  approved  for  a  school
            garden, they may not be allowed elsewhere on the campus.
            What is planted in the garden, should stay in the garden.
            Please contact the Building Code Services Department for
            landscaping guidance.
