A brief description of the garden:
An organic garden was the winning idea from the 3rd annual JMU Challenge. The competition differs annually, but the focus that year was challenging students to develop local, entrepreneurial solutions that address global environmental problems. The garden is open to participation by any student. The garden will not be certified organic but uses organic techniques. ARAMARK in consultation with several faculty members will be overseeing the sustainable practices for the garden.
