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 Penn Garden, established through a Penn Green Fund grant, intends to raise awareness about the importance of local foods and community engagement. Students hold workdays in the garden in the spring, summer and fall. Penn’s Urban Nutrition Initiative also uses the Penn Garden group as a teaching tool about gardening and nutrition to high school students. Student volunteers take produce from the garden home with them or donate it to a local food bank near campus.
