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 Resident Garden at Segundo is a space for all on-campus residents to learn about edible plants, how they are grown and cared for and how they can be prepared after harvesting! The garden also provides an opportunity for student leadership and community involvement. The Resident Garden is located in the Segundo Resident Area between Bixby Hall and Segundo Dining Commons.
In 1977, UC Davis students created the Student Farm to get hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture. It is now a certified organic farm, with a popular Community Supported Agriculture program, Student Harvests, that has a wait list, and a Market Garden, which sells produce to the Coffee House, Dining Services, and at the on-campus Farmers Market. It is also a key resource for and part of the new Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems major.
