KU Student Farm plots available for spring semester 2011

[Kim Scherman]

Hello!

The KU Student Farm is now offering plots and learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff interested in growing their own food. Plots are located next to the Lawrence Municipal Airport and Prairie Moon Waldorf School, on the grounds of the KU Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden. Currently, fewer than thirty plots are available and first come, first serve.

 

The first meeting for the student farm will be Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. in the lobby of the Kansas Union, and we will begin greenhouse work mid-March. Not an expert gardener? No problem. The student farm is an educational tool for individuals who want to learn how to grow food and learn sustainable gardening practices. We will have featured guest speakers who will educate the group on gardening practices and techniques, as well as regular work days during the season to work in the greenhouse and at the farm.

Please visit the facebook page and the blog for more information.
