Yes
None
A brief description of the garden:
The Colgate Community Garden was launched in June 2010. Researched, funded, planted, and harvested by students, the garden now provides fresh vegetables and herbs to the campus dining services provider for all students to enjoy. Produce from the half-acre garden, located near the Newell student apartments, also has been donated to the local food cupboard and sold at the village of Hamilton farmers market.
The idea for the garden concept came when students from the ENST 480 class completed a feasibility report as a class project in 2009.
