Since U-M produces future leaders, it is important that they have exposure to the design mechanisms and practices of complex and closed loop systems in nature. Using permaculture design is innovative and having it in a visible area where students can be naturally engaged to volunteer and/or eat the food is a key component to this endeavor. The purpose of a satellite garden is to expose more students to the educational opportunities that reside within a campus farm. Madeline Dunn
