A brief description of the garden:
The UF Organic Garden rents plots for semester periods. Members of the cooperative plant vegetables and flowers of their choice on their plots, and are responsible for up-keep. They are expected to practice organic gardening methods and to participate in community workdays several times each semester. Water, manure, and some seeds are provided, and various tools are available onsite.
In addition, the Student Agricultural Gardens are managed by the UF Agronomy and Soils Club and rents two plot sizes on an annual basis. This garden provides students, faculty and staff space in which to pursue and experiment with food production, gardening and sustainability. It is garden policy that no synthetic pesticides or herbicides be used, and organic practices are preferred.
