Walks are edged and blown on a weekly cycle. Trees and shrubs are pruned regularly to maintain integrity of the overall natural beauty and respect for the demands of the campus community. Shrubbery beds are mulched regularly with pruning clippings that have been put through a chipper and allowed to go through a natural heat process. Supplying the sixty-seven annual flower beds with over 70,000 plants a year is a climate controlled greenhouse, maintained by our own Horticultural staff. Plants are grown from seed or cuttings to reduce overall cost.
Grounds also provides for trash compaction for the entire campus seven days a week.
