- Description/Abstract:
- Over 400,000 quarries have been left abandoned and seemingly in a state of disrepair once their resources have been depleted or no longer valued. Before 1977, there were no laws or regulations in place to protect these sites. Owners and contractors were able to leave the site as is with tools, machinery, jagged rocks, slabs of cut stone, trash, and anything in between. This project explores the oldest marble quarry in the country, the Norcross-West marble quarry located in Dorset, Vermont. The design answers the question of how to repurpose this site by combining the site history to create educational opportunities, vegetation implementation to create habitats for at risk species, and sustainable practices such as marble carving and rainwater collection create a space that fulfills needs within the site that have long sense been forgotten. These practices reform the space and set a precedent for the dozens of other nearby abandoned and active quarry sites.

- Description/Abstract:
- The key to the future is in the past! Exploring methods of food production for Cincinnati in 2050 by combining horticulture practices of the past with modern technology to create a better future. For centuries humans have been taking nutrients from the earth and giving very little back in return (Oregon State Agricultural Extension Service). To avoid going too far down this detrimental path, we need to implement restorative agriculture methods that replenish the ground. By doing so, we give the Cincinnati of 2050 a better future; a future composed of healthy, happy residents who have access to responsibly cultivated food, land that is less susceptible to flooding and landslides, and a population that takes responsibility and stewardship of the natural environment. Humans are a keystone species and as such we play an integral part in how the ecosystem functions, for better or for worse. There is much wisdom to be learned from Native Americans and their millennia of horticulture practices. By implementing strategies like a city-wide composting network, hillside terraced gardens, urban food forests, and underground hydroponics, Cincinnati can reduce food waste, mitigate climate change, increase equitable access to healthy food, and educate its residents on how to be environmental stewards.

- Description/Abstract:
- The current infrastructure of horticulture in North America lacks BIPOC representation. The purpose of the review and the research is to address the effects of white dominance in horticulture and observe the benefits of a system that upholds and welcomes the culture and values of individuals in the BIPOC communities. By analyzing the current impacts of DEI and its effectiveness for BIPOC horticulturist, it can be theorized on how to create a more equitable field.

- Description/Abstract:
- Forest settings can provide emotional and physical stimulation that can effectively calm the nervous system and regulate responses to the effects of trauma. By exposing a population to a nearby temperate forest, measures can be made regarding the overall reaction to being in the presence of a forest specific environment. It is expected that the response to the experiences of forest engagement and exposure will present positive and increase the overall well-being of participants.

- Description/Abstract:
- The overuse of plastic containers in greenhouse and nursery production surpasses the amount being recycled. A solution to this issue involves a shift in the materials used for making containers. Specifically, containers employed for plant growth are largely single-use due to the higher costs associated with reusing them in production. Due to chemicals used during the growing process recycling containers is challenging. Transitioning to eco-friendly alternatives holds the promise of positively impacting the environment and curbing plastic waste generated in growing containerized plants. This research delves into the types of plastics currently utilized, their purposes, and the recycling processes involved. This is compared to new eco-friendly container options, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages. The significance of this study lies in the exploration of potential materials for manufacturing containers in greenhouse and nursery production. The result of This research finds alternatives to plastic, fostering sustainability and reducing reliance on plastic for containers, thereby contributing to a more sustainable industry.

- Description/Abstract:
- In the mid-18th century, France entered the Rococo period, a period of enlightenment and play. As the Enlightenment spurred more liberal ideologies in French society, aristocratic women were afforded more freedoms than in previous periods, such as high education and participation in social and cultural realms such as Salons. Jean-Honoré Fragonard, known widely for his 1767 painting "The Swing", created a large body of work throughout the period often depicting female subjects in genre and allegorical scenes as well as portraiture. Often subverting the typical male gaze in his works, his paintings serve as a reflection of the period of empowerment experienced by aristocratic women in the Rococo period.
