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 Unity College campus gardens are a hub of sustainability activity on campus. We grow organic produce for our dining hall on about 2/5 of an acre and an additional 1/2 acre is under cultivation by the hunger relief project Veggies for All. A smaller demonstration garden is utilized by faculty and students in the sustainable agriculture and horticulture programs. All students are introduced to our campus gardens through orientation and the first-year seminar. Many support campus gardens through course work,community service, and special projects. Work-study students staff the garden during the academic year and students are given preference for our seasonal Sustainable Food Production Assistant position. Though not certified, we utilize organic farming methods.
