A brief description of the garden:
American University’s organic, community garden is located next to Nebraska Hall. Students, staff, and faculty volunteers manage the garden. In 2010, volunteers harvested a variety of fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, sunflowers, basil, parsley, pumpkins, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans, broccoli, lettuce, and corn. Some produce from the garden is used in the Terrace Dining Room and some is donated to a local food bank, Bread for the City. The rest is distributed to garden volunteers.
