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 garden on campus at UMKC. Anyone is welcome to be a part, you don't have to know anything about gardening! All you have to do is let us know you are interested or come to a meeting/work day.
The garden was started in the winter of 08-09 through the hard work of Jessica Farmer and a small group of students. The first growing season turned out to be extremely successful- more food was produced than could be consumed. Extra produce was taken to local food pantries by garden members.
It looks like 2010 is going to be a great year for the garden. There will be many new faces working at the garden come springtime. With the increase in numbers we will be tilling more beds for planting and even constructing a greenhouse in February to start our seeds in.
We all looking forward to meeting you!
