Garden Details
The USF Community Garden is a living laboratory for students, faculty, and staff interested in sustainable agriculture, as well as a space for reflection for anyone in the community. The 1/8-acre plot provides year-round seasonal vegetables, fruit, and herbs. The space functions as an outdoor classroom for urban agriculture courses, where students learn basic and advanced principles and practices of organic gardening. The plot is also a vital space for urban food production, used primarily by the Community Garden Outreach course, in which students harvest fresh produce from the garden and cook meals for our campus farm stand and free community dinners.

We are a pesticides-free organic garden.
In the USF Community Garden, we grow nearly all vegetables and herbs as well as a few different fruit trees.
We welcome all members of the USF community to join us in the garden. Further, we have Garden Workdays on Thursdays, from 11-3, during which everyone is invited to join us, put in some work, enjoy a free lunch, and take home some fresh vegetables. We also welcome students enrolled in local elementary, middle, and high schools for garden tours.
