The Botanic Garden at Cal State Northridge needs to replace broken/outdated equipment (lawnmower, pole chainsaw, leaf blower, soil pasteurizer, etc.), increase plant signage, and hire a temporary student worker.  The current budget crisis has meant that we have lacked student help since March of last year, and garden projects have been delayed due to the understaffing situation.  The funds raised will be applied toward purchasing battery-operated garden maintenance equipment (this follows the current campus sustainability goal), support student research, and hire a student assistant. Please help us to keep our garden flourishing!
