Community Gardening On- and Off-campus

  • There are many community gardens and farms, both on- and off-campus, where students are gaining skills, connecting with others and nature, and growing nutritious and delicious organic food. Check out the Community Gardens Resource Guide to find out about local opportunities, and let's get gardening!
  • The North Coast Community Garden Collaborative's goal is to give everyone access to gardens by bolstering existing gardens and adding new ones. The NCCGC also assists community gardeners by giving out plant starts, seeds, soil and more. Find out about local gardens, volunteering and more at the NCCGC website.
