"We keep all of the leaves and any green stuff in a big pile and we just keep turning it," Harding said. "It definitely helps us reduce our cost. We can just fill that in and let it decompose."
Facilities Operations also tries to use native grasses in areas that aren't high in traffic, such as the West Campus, and limit the number of flowerbeds. This reduces costs and the number of ripped out flowers.

"I'm trying to do stuff that doesn't require a lot of water and I'm trying not to fertilize at all." Harding said. The only fertilizer the University is going to use this year is a selfmade compost mix.

It's just part of the tradition at KU, said Shawn Hardin assistant director of the landscape department. Facilities Operations is in charge of eight flowerbeds that contain about 11,000 bulbs and hundreds of shrub beds. In addition to planting flowers, the crew picks up trash in the morning, mows the grass at least once a week and otherwise maintains the about 1,000 acres of land on campus.
"I just want to have a nice place for people to come and learn," Harding said. "I want it to be a destination."
Although some would like to keep the uprooted tulips instead of throwing them away, the University is not allowed to give them away because the flowers are bought with state money.

"There is so much to learn, and I look forward to absorbing as much knowledge as I can," Dale said.
