The Weber State Community Garden is a student-managed and operated garden that is focused on providing fresh fruit and vegetables. The food grown in the garden is donated to the Weber Cares Pantry and within the local community. The garden offers education on home gardening, composting, and advice for plant care. Volunteers gain practical experience working in a horticultural setting and the first pick of produce.
Volunteering days are case by case throughout the growing season. If you would like to volunteer, collect service hours, or if you are an educator on campus and would like to inquire a tour or pursue research studies at the garden, please contact the garden coordinator by emailing gardenclub@weber.edu or signing up for weekly meetups via .
The community garden growing season is broken up into four parts:
A Guide to a Sustainable Garden & Kitchen Hopefully this guide can act as a way to help education you on current issues we face in the world regarding food sustainability, as well as provide options and actions that you can do in your own home to become more sustainable! These actions include different practices in the garden, as well as practices you can take into your own kitchen to help grow your own food and reduce food waste. Please check it out, and pass it on. Thank you!
- All funds go towards the budget and improvement of the garden. We appreciate any and all donations, you can also contact the garden coordinator below to donate any extra equipment or plants.
Location: The New Community Garden is situated behind the Employee Wellness Annex (A29) on the northern edge of campus. Please note that parking at the Annex is limited, and roadside parking is monitored by the city. Be sure to park in designated areas.
