Known for The Garden House
In 2017-2018 a group of six Cal Poly freshman in the University Honors Program and dedicated a year to completing a community service project to serve Garden House, Morro Bay and its inhabitants. The students were brought together through the Honors 161/162/163 series, which aims to teach students a sense of broad intellectual curiosity, active engagement in local, regional, and global communities, and a sense of personal and professional efficacy. Their goal with their community service project was to use their growing knowledge of sustainability to create a fiscally responsible, ecologically friendly, and socially engaging space for the residents of Garden House, as well as the neighborhood and community as a whole.
