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 Elon Community Garden was initiated by an environmental ethics course to foster education, spirituality, service, community discussion and sustainability and was fully established by a student as part of a senior thesis project. It is a place for Elon students, faculty, staff, children and community to come together. It is now used as a laboratory for courses and volunteer location for any interested student. Organic practices are utilized in the garden, and gardening tasks are coordinated by student managers.
In 2012, the Elon Community Garden was designated a certified wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. http://www.elon.edu/e-net/Article/62382
