Mission/Vision
A catalyst for growth, the IU Northwest Community Garden collaboratively builds capacity and connections. The Garden is open to all members of the campus and public and is committed to education, health, social and physical well-being.
History
The Garden began as an idea for a 2010 class project, but quickly outgrew the confines of the classroom. By the spring of 2011, a campus-community partnership formally established the Garden, transforming a vacant lot on campus grounds into a blossoming array of colorful native plants and vegetables.
Since 2010, the IU Northwest Community Garden initiative has recognized the importance of building community as well as serving as a learning resource. Over the years, students, faculty, staff, and community members have come together to share ideas and to work in the Garden. We built new friendships and relationships with one another that have endured the many challenges of sustaining a community garden. It is the synergy of our interests and our actions that makes our work together enjoyable and purposeful.
