Does the institution have an on-campus garden where students are able to gain organic farming and/or gardening experience?:
A brief description of the garden:
There are currently two small organic gardens on campus maintained by student organizations. Training is provided by student and staff volunteers at both sites. The Garden Gnomes student organization garden plot in the Mediterranean quad is an organic vegetable garden featuring vegetables native to the Mediterranean climates of which San Diego is one of five world wide. A second herb garden adjacent to the Faculty Staff Club (FSC) is maintained by the student organization Quest for Global Change and the FSC staff. The herb garden organically maintained and supplies herbs to the Faculty Staff Club Dining facility.
The SDSU Children's Center operated by Associated Students established a small organic vegetable garden in 2011 to provide educational experiences for children and families at the Center. The Children's Center garden is maintained by the Garden Club and student volunteers.
