What

On-campus urban gardens

Available for use by UNCG faculty, staff, and students, the purpose of the UNCG Gardens is to build healthy, interactive urban communities through the collective production of locally grown, organic food. We recognize the need for education and sustainability and draw on the varied expertise at the University and within the local community.

Garden Activities

NOTES
  • For garden activities, you must wear closed toed shoes – no flip-flops or sandals.
  • You should bring a water bottle.
  • Pants are better than shorts, given the work we are doing. Hats are good too.
  • We have work gloves.
  • No headphones, earbuds, cellphones or any electronic devices can be used during the work period.
  • We have some big projects coming up and we need everyone’s good work ethic. It is not easy work. It could be hot, buggy, wet, muddy, dirty even smelly, but the work still needs to be completed.

The Hummingbird

Dr. Susan Andreatta wanted to share a story with you from Wangari Maathai. This is why we have incorporated a hummingbird into our design. A community can make a difference!

In this beautifully animated clip from “Dirt! The Movie,” Wangari Maathai tells an inspiring tale of doing the best you can under seemingly interminable odds.
