The USC Peace Garden Project is a partnership between the Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, the USC Office of Sustainability, SOLA Community Peace Center, USC Garden Club, USC Department of Public Safety and USC Landscape Architecture. The Project will transform a little-used plot of land owned by the university into a flourishing and invigorating garden space that will be used for education, research and programs serving the community. The garden itself and programming there will promote and demonstrate environmental sustainability, social and environmental justice, health promotion and wellness and community safety.
