A brief description of the garden:
The Emory Sustainability Vision set a goal to "include community gardens in the university landscape plan for aesthetic and educational purposes." To date, Emory has eight small educational food gardens on campus that highlight sustainability and food. These food gardens are maintained by a team of staff, students, neighbors, and faculty, and harvests are shared within each team. Two other gardens are dedicated to general education about seasonal grains and fruits, and a third medicinal herb garden was established at the School of Nursing in 2008. All of the gardens are managed using organic gardening techniques.
