Campus Community Garden

The Campus Community Garden provides a great opportunity for students to learn about and engage in sustainable practices in a central location on campus. We all have to eat, and how we consume food directly impacts our environment. We often hear about the benefits of local food: low transportation cost and consequently reduced fuel use and emissions and knowing how the food is grown. We can’t get more local than growing food on our campus. The Campus Garden is an interactive classroom where students can grow healthy food, eat healthy food, and learn about the importance of sustainable agriculture. The Garden is located between the Herty building and the Williams Center. Stop by to see what fresh and delicious produce we are growing!
