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 Westminster Organic Garden is run by students under the guidance of the Environmental Center and Garden Committee. There are numerous volunteers that help keep the garden running doing activities such as watering, planting and weeding. Weekly work parties are held during the growing season (from seed starting in the greenhouse to winter cover cropping). The crops from the garden are either given to volunteers or distributed at a campus farmstand. The garden effort also includes a campus chicken co-op where students care for the hens in exchange for eggs.
