🪴 Friday throwback — This past Saturday, students from the ASU Humanities Lab’s Justice Through School Gardens course invited ASU and the broader community to the Escalante Community Garden for a Día de los Mu***os celebration.

Engaging the space through culture, ofrendas, seed planting and shared stories reflects how student insights and university–community collaboration can turn gardens into living classrooms—places where community learning, cultural celebration and inclusivity take root.
