No. 4: Gardens galore — UIC has gardens on both the east and west sides of campus, including the Heritage Garden just outside of the Latino Cultural Center and the Heritage Garden Native Prairie. Plants have benefits for our air and environment, but at UIC the gardens also have cultural, historical and even nutritional significance. On the west side of campus, there is the Atkins Medicinal Plant Garden. It sits next to the Retzky College of Pharmacy and showcases the medicinal plants that have played an active role in medicine. Behind the Applied Health Sciences Building, the UIC Teaching Nutrition Garden is a resource for nutrition students to create healthy recipes.
