A brief description of the garden:

We currently have organic garden plots located at Crawford House and Mountain Challenge on the MC Campus. Students, faculty and staff are invited to selected and maintain plots and following the guidelines set form by the Mountain Challenge staff. The gardens are watered by rain barrels and organic seed, plants and pest maintenance plans are used. Students that work at Mountain Challenge have recently participated in the gardens with the plantings and maintaining of new blueberries bushes. The food that is harvested from the gardens has been prepared and served at Campus Sustainability Day for the MC public.
