Latin American Studies Unveils Tranquility Garden
The Latin American and Latino Studies (LALS) program officially unveiled The Latin American and Latino Studies Tranquility Garden. The goal of this space is to allow students, faculty, and staff a beautiful place to sit down, have lunch, conduct meetings, or simply study.

One of the wonderful elements of the garden is how it “grew” from donations from UofL faculty and staff and members of the local community. Many of the beautiful plants that will be making their spring debut are donations from the gardens of Rhonda Buchanan, Richard Tabb, and Kevin D. Kouba.
On April 2nd, the garden was opened and LALS acknowledged the donors and students that have helped make this project happen. One of the highlights was a community planting in which attendees were invited to plant annual flower seeds into a new plot.
