Title: COMMUNITY GARDEN DESIGN

You have been chosen to help design a new community garden. The goal is to create a space where
local residents can grow their own fruits and vegetables, as well as enjoy a relaxing environment.
Your task is to use mathematical models and geometric calculations to create a detailed design for
the garden.
Your audience includes the local community, garden enthusiasts, and city officials. They will
evaluate your design based on its feasibility, practicality, and use of space.
The community has allocated a piece of land for the new garden. You have a map of the area and
information about the types of plants that community members would like to grow. Your job is to
create a detailed design that maximizes the use of space while considering the needs of different
plants.
You will create a community garden design proposal that includes:
1. Design a layout for the garden, including sections for different types of plants (e.g.,
vegetables, fruits, herbs), and calculate the areas for each section to ensure efficient use of
space.
2. Use mathematical models to predict the growth patterns of the plants over the growing
season, and formulate and solve models to ensure that the garden design accommodates the
growth needs of different plants.
3. Prepare a presentation that outlines your garden layout, justifies your design choices, and
demonstrates the accuracy of your mathematical calculations. Include maps and diagrams of
your proposed garden design.
Your performance will be evaluated based on accuracy of plant growth models, effective use of
mathematical principles, feasibility and practicality of the garden design, and presentation quality.

V. SAMPLE OUTPUT (if available)

Model Output: Community Garden Design Proposal
Introduction:
We, the Grade 11 STEM students, are thrilled to present our proposal for the new community
garden. Our aim is to create a sustainable and enjoyable space where local residents can grow
their own fruits and vegetables, and relax in a natural environment.
Garden Layout Plan:
Our community garden is designed to maximize the use of space while providing diverse areas
for different types of plants and activities. The layout includes the following sections:
1. Vegetable Zone:
o Area: 500 square meters
o Description: This section is dedicated to growing a variety of vegetables such as
tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce. Raised beds will be used to optimize soil quality
and drainage.
2. Fruit Zone:
o Area: 300 square meters
o Description: This area is designated for fruit trees and bushes, including apple
trees, berry bushes, and citrus plants. The layout ensures adequate spacing for
growth and ease of harvest.

3. Herb Garden:
o Area: 200 square meters
o Description: A dedicated space for growing herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint.
This section includes small, easily accessible beds for community members to use
fresh herbs in their cooking.
4. Conservation Area:
o Area: 400 square meters
o Description: This section is reserved for native plants and serves as a habitat for
local wildlife. It includes educational signage to teach visitors about the
importance of biodiversity.
5. Recreational Area:
o Area: 300 square meters
o Description: A relaxing space with seating areas, picnic tables, and walking
paths. This area is designed to encourage community gatherings and leisure
activities.
6. Sustainable Features:
o Solar Panels for Energy: 50 square meters
o Rainwater Harvesting System: 20 square meters
o Description: These features ensure the garden operates sustainably, using
renewable energy and conserving water.
Plant Growth Model:
We used mathematical models to predict the growth patterns of the plants over the growing
season. Based on the provided data, we calculated the expected yield for each plant type and
ensured the garden layout accommodates their growth needs. For example:
 Tomatoes: Expected yield of 5 kg per square meter over the growing season.
 Apple Trees: Expected yield of 50 kg per tree annually.
Calculations:
2 5 kg
Total yield for tomatoes= 500 m x 2
=2500 kg
m
Total yield for apple trees=10 trees x 50 kg/tree=500 kg

Our design choices were made to maximize the efficiency and sustainability of the garden. The
vegetable, fruit, and herb zones provide a variety of produce for the community, while the
conservation area supports local biodiversity. The recreational area offers a space for relaxation
and socialization, enhancing the community experience.
Geometric calculations ensured that each section of the garden uses space efficiently. For
instance, the area of the walking paths was calculated using the formula for the area of a
rectangle:
Area = Length×Width
Area of Walking Paths= 100 m X 3m = 300m2
Presentation:
We have prepared a comprehensive presentation that includes detailed maps and diagrams of our
garden design, outlines our findings, and justifies our design choices. The presentation
demonstrates the accuracy of our mathematical calculations and highlights the sustainable
features incorporated into the design.
We look forward to your feedback and hope that our community garden design will become a
cherished space for all residents, promoting sustainability and a sense of community.
