The Lobo Gardens, which began in 2010 as an outdoor learning laboratory for the
University of New Mexico, has now become a prime walk spot for individuals, friends, families,
and animals alike. The project began with Seeds of Rebellion and the Research Learning
Service Program but is now spearheaded by Community Engaged Learning Reasearch (CLER).
Lobo Gardens serves UNM’s graduate, undergraduate, faculty, and staff, providing fresh
produce for the Lobo Food Pantry.
The Red Garden is located off the corner of Campus Blvd. and Vassar Dr. near UNM’s
Real Estate Department. Hokona Hall Garden is located in Hokona’s western courtyard. The
gardens feature a variety of plants, including a pollinator garden and food forest within the Red

Ice Wolves downed by Odessa Jackalopes
October 7On Sept. 11, the New Mexico Ice Wolves and the Odessa Jackalopes were set to face off in Albuquerque. Right before the game started, both teams were warming up to play, and there were hockey pucks being thrown all over the rink. After the warm up, both teams went back into the locker room, before coming back out a little later to see the colorguard and also hear the national anthem. There was also a moment of silence for victims of the 9/11 attacks in 2001. After the game began, there were players coming on and off of the bench all game. The Jackolopes started off with the lead, but the Ice Wolves quickly tied the game 1-1. While tied, New Mexico struggled to get another point for the rest of the game. Although the Ice Wolves put up a good fight, they ended up losing the game 3-1. Cayden Flores is a freelance photographer at the Daily Lobo.
