Does the institution have an on-campus garden where students are able to gain organic farming and/or gardening experience?:
A brief description of the garden:
The Edible School Yard (ESY) is a student-initiated and student-run garden located on campus outside of the Living Learning Center that promotes green living. The ESY was run solely through student volunteers during its first year in 2004. Now students can sign up for a class that teaches them how to grow organic food and make a positive impact on their community through sustainability efforts. While the class now serves as the main caretaker of the ESY other students do still have the opportunity to work in the garden on a volunteer basis.
