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 Urban Farm, in operation since 1976, is used as an applied research facility (e.g. to study bee populations) and as an outdoor classroom to teach organic gardening (through the Department of Landscape Architecture). It is one of the many academic programs beyond the Environmental Studies Program that address environmental issues in design, community planning, business, law, the sciences, and literature.
