organic
Grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, we believe our produce is better for the planet, wildlife, and our bodies. In addition, some organic foods have been found to have higher nutrient levels than their non-organic counterparts.
education
Our garden provides a hands-on learning environment that gives individuals experience and knowledge of sustainable gardening. Several professors at the university have and continue to use the garden as a teaching tool.
you grow it, you eat it
With absolutely no membership fees or requirements, the garden is open to anyone who wishes to participate.
recycling and upcycling
From reusing old bricks and wooden pallets to giving purpose to unwanted artwork, we see "waste" as an opportunity for growth. We also recycle any litter that we find in the garden.
"mostly" no till
While not always apparent to humans, soil is a complex system involving billion of organisms and intricate cycles of water and nutrients, and continuous tillage of the soil can disrupt these natural communities and cycles. With only minimal disruption of the soil during planting and harvesting, we can maintain community integrity and conserve soil nutrients and water. Our garden has not been tilled since the Buffalo Grass sod was originally broken.
