| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this thesis is to encourage Mount Holyoke College to adopt a more sustainable landscaping plan. The historically significant way that lawns came about is important to consider as these spaces do provide certain cultural and aesthetic benefits. However, the environmental costs are too high to continue this form of ultimately unproductive landscaping. Using case studies as attainable alternative examples I have compiled a variety of techniques for Mount Holyoke to employ. This, along with many other considerations like student and staff opinions, how we and other species use our landscape, and site evaluations, led to the creation of a final proposal which includes the possibility of potential pilot projects. | |
