A brief description of the garden:
Students and parents have managed an organic garden at the Price Lab School, which is a K-12 Lab school within the UNI College of Education. The garden also implements composting of food waste from the Price Lab School as the means to fertilize the garden. At the time of publication, the future of Price Lab School was undecided. If the school is closed, UNI plans to open two more organic gardens on campus.
This summer UNI is beginning to create a second organic herb garden south of the Center for Energy and Environmental Education and a third student organic garden near the Biology Research Complex. .
