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:
A College garden is located at the student-operated Miller Farm, which is part of the Earlham campus. At Miller Farm there is a garden maintained by current Miller Farm residents that is envisioned as an open educational space for all who are interested to learn about and gain gardening experience. There is a workday every Saturday year round that is open to students and community members where current residents of the farm organize and lead projects. There is also a community garden on Miller Farm where students and community members have their own plots to do with as they wish.
A community garden located more prominently on campus is planned and on its way to being implemented, as well.
