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:
Carnegie Mellon University Community Garden was initiated by a student group, Sustainable Earth. The Community Garden is located next to the Solar Decathlon House on campus behind Donner Hall. Anyone including students, alumni, staff and faculty are permitted to help with the project. The garden area is 350 sq ft. In 2012, Facilities Management added four 6 x 3 raised beds in the Peace Garden, which added another 72 sq ft. for a total of 422 sq ft of garden space. The students planted vegetables in this new area with help from children enrolled in our Children's School.
