Students for Sustainable Living Garden (SSLUG) at Northern Arizona University - Jan Busco,
The SSLUG
garden was founded by NAU graduate students in the Sustainability Program in
2007 to create community and share teachings about how to best garden
sustainably and organically. Over the years, the garden has grown to include 1/2
acre of cultivated edible, native and other beautiful and useful plants grown
with a variety of sustainable techniques. A large collection of milkweeds for
monarchs was added this year to the pollinator garden. Jan Busco, Coordinator,
is an environmental horticulturist, consultant and author of Native Plants for High-Elevation Western
Gardens and Co-Author of First Gardens: How to get Started In Southwestern
Gardening. She received her BS in Horticulture from Cal Poly Pomona and her
MS in Forestry from NAU in 2005 with a concentration in ecological
restoration.
