Sod sculpture at Bluegrass Lane

sod sculpture and artistes

Yesterday, students in my friend Marcia Eames-Sheavly’s Art of Horticulture class made a sod scuplture (with help from our ‘Turf Guy’ Frank Rossi) at Cornell’s Bluegrass Lane Turf and Landscape Research Center. Unfortunately, by the time I got my office work under control and headed out to observe, they were done. But teaching assistant and grad student extraordinaire Chad Miller graciously shared his images with me. Here’s a small photo gallery showing the process.

Update: Nice article in the Cornell Chronicle.

  1. My first thought: “There is a class called ‘The Art of Horticulture,” and these kids get to do this fun stuff AND get credit for it?”

    My second thought: “Why did I decide not to take advantage of my acceptance to Cornell again?”
