A brief description of the garden:

The Duke Community Garden is a student run-organization that seeks to improve campus sustainability by providing organic food to campus eateries. The garden provides its members with a place to relax and enjoy nature, as well as an opportunity to enjoy fresh produce. The plants in the garden are regularly replaced with crops optimal for the season and climate. Any student or staff member is able to participate, and the garden will provide instruction in optimizing and tending crops.
