A brief description of the institution’s community garden:

The Grantham Community Garden is an effort inspired and led by students to demonstrate and promote real-life concepts of sustainable agriculture, which we believe is a key piece to true Christian stewardship. The garden initiative is a means to educate students, faculty, and the broader community about the environmental, social, nutritional, and spiritual benefits of sustainable farming.

The Community Garden has begun a Community Supported Agricutlure (CSA)  program over the past few years members have been invited to volunteer in the garden to help grow their produce. CSA members attend volunteer hours to assist in preparing the garden for the season.
