Members of the community begin planting in their garden plots

An Indiana State University community project is growing a sense of community while helping fight hunger.

For the past five years, Indiana State has provided land for expert and novice gardeners to plant 10 foot by 10 foot, 10 foot by 15 foot or 20 foot by 20 foot plots free of charge. In return, gardeners promise to tend to their plots, plant only annuals and refrain from using pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Participants are encouraged to donate a portion of the produced raised to the food pantry of their choice.

Information

  • Location: 219 N 11th Street
  • Growing season: April - October
  • Cost: We ask every gardener to donate a portion of their produce to the food pantry of their choice, through the Catholic Charities Food Bank.

Additional Information

  • Tools and garden hose will be available during scheduled hours each week.
  • The community garden is pesticide, herbicide, insecticide, and fungicides free.
  • Expert consultation will be available through volunteers.

Registration Information

Registration is now open for new gardeners. A limited number of plots remain. Forms must be filled out and turned in by May 15, 2013.
