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:
The Transylvania garden has been in existence for four years and functions primarily as an educational space for students, faculty, and community members to learn about organic and sustainable gardening practices. The garden utilizes no chemicals or pesticides and uses locally sourced compost as fertilizer. The garden is not certified organic. The garden membership includes students, faculty and staff of Transylvania; weekly tasks assigned to garden members throughout the summer. There is also a class taught in our May term that utilizes the garden as a learning laboratory for responsible gardening.
