This video focuses on phases II and III of the project:
-Winter 2011 - A campus-wide garden design workshop
-Spring - Early Summer 2011 - Initial Planting.
Backstory: In October, 2010 UMass Amherst transformed a 1/4 grass lawn on campus into a diverse, low-maintenance, edible, educational, and model permaculture garden that is also easily replicable. Learn how this student-led project can be easily replicated and spread to other campuses, institutions... any piece of land for that matter. UMass Amherst is one of the first university's undertaking a project like this, directly on campus, and supplying the food to its dining commons.

They mention the design charette here, and the multi-purpose outcomes, but what specifically was done to select plants that would grow well together? What plants were finally selected, and are there perennial vegetables, etc.?

I believe that I am READY to delve into Permaculture. Thus far I like the idea of creating a simple garden that can grow food in a very sustainable way. Bring it on.
