A brief description of the garden:

A new University of Arkansas club, GroGreen, is providing organic garden plots for members at the Arkansas Agricultural Research and Extension Center on Ark. 112 north of campus.

The goal is to learn about organic production techniques and practice those in order to produce crops to sell to help finance club activities. The members are educating themselves and the campus community about organic and sustainable agriculture, healthy living and ecological-based lifestyles.

Members of the club are mostly students and some staff members. It is open to anyone associated with the University.
