GECO was started in the fall of 2013 by three students in the Ecology elective. These three students worked to evaluate the garden's needs and determined that without more support, the garden would not be a sustainable component of Powell GT.
They worked together to come up with a plan and advertised to establish the Garden Ecology Club Organization, or GECO. The club quickly grew in popularity and membership. The students' work was submitted in a national contest "Siemens We Can Change the World" and received recognition as a finalist. The recognition banner is displayed in the courtyard. |
