The University of\u00a0Massachusetts\u00a0at Amherst went a step further, though, and not only converted a 12,000 square foot plot of land into a <a href=\"http:\/\/greenlivingideas.com\/2012\/03\/14\/open-source-permaculture-bringing-permaculture-to-everyone\/\">permaculture garden<\/a>, but also documented the process on video. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.umassdining.com\/sustainability\/permaculture\/documentary-series\">three-part series<\/a>, which run about 16 minutes total, covers the entire process of reclaiming the land for food production, and aptly demonstrates the excitement generated among students, faculty, and staff from this activity.

Gardening like this also brings together members of the campus community in a common purpose: what other activity would connect kitchen staff, students, and members of the administration? And, finally, all get to share really fresh food transported from a few feet away&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Parts 2 and 3 of the series are available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.umassdining.com\/sustainability\/permaculture\/documentary-series\">the documentary&#8217;s web page<\/a>.
