Grow Dat, a program launched by Tulane, continues to receive accolades.

Grow Dat is a program initiated by Tulane University School of Architecture. It creates an environment for high-school students in New Orleans to participate in growing organic produce and running a farm.

The accessory buildings around the farm are made of shipping containers and were designed into a compelling arrangement by students at Tulane, under the guidance of professor Scott Bernhard and the leadership of Dean Ken Schwartz.

This project is currently under construction and has already received numerous accolades and awards.

We are proud to have been an early supporter of this community oriented program.
