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:
USF Community Gardens is a group dedicated to creating and managing a large scale student-run community garden and farmers' market on campus. This community garden will provide fresh organic fruits and vegetables for students and faculty.
In addition, there are two smaller student community gardens; (one organic, one medicinal) located at the USF Botanical Gardens and a few other groups supporting these efforts:
1) Food Activists Revolutionizing Meals (FARM) promotes eating lifestyles that are more ecologically sound, local/community-based, and nutritionally balanced.
2) Green Living and Learning Community (GLLC) is located at the Maple B residence hall.
