Currently, 12 of the approximate 30 raised beds are complete. Future plans include additional beds, ADA access and a fruit orchard. Initially, the garden will be utilized by students enrolled in one of the three fall 2017 courses and by Students for a Sustainable Campus. It is anticipated that the community garden will be used in four ways in the future: as a classroom; as a community garden available for students, student groups and others; for outreach and demonstration purposes; and as a hub of community food systems research.听听聽
