1. Rain Garden
 
 
These lovely bouquets of shrubbery and other various plants aren’t just for aesthetic pleasure, they also prevent flooding by absorbing water from rain and run-off.  
 
 
2. Sewage Cleaners
 
 
Funky little plants aligned in rows in along the walkway. Wouldn’t expect these to be cleaning the waste water at the same time would you? Well guess again, because not only are they easy on the eyes, they’re the reason we can recycle our water.
 
 
3. Apple Trees
 
 
What farm is complete without an orchard? Eden Hall bears plenty of fruitful apple trees, free to be picked from by students and faculty.
 
 
4. Mushrooms 
 
 
A oretty umbrella or decadent treat? Poisonous fungus or a result of reproduction from the workshops on how to grow your own edible mushrooms? Who knows?! They certainly add a nice touch of scenery to the already gorgeous landscape.
