About the Indiana State University - Community Garden
The Indiana State University Community Garden, located at 219 North 11th Street in Terre Haute, Indiana, is a vibrant park where community members can come together to grow their own produce. Established in 2008, the garden now boasts 165 plots that are available for use free of charge. Gardeners have access to communal tools and water, and in exchange, they agree to tend to their plots, plant only annuals, and avoid using harmful chemicals. Additionally, gardeners are required to contribute four hours of service each month and donate 10% of their yield to local charities.
The garden has seen exponential growth in both produce donations and volunteer hours over the years, making a significant impact on the community. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, all are welcome to join this community of dedicated individuals. For more information on the garden's policies, you can refer to the ISU Community Garden Policy Guide.
Adjacent to the ISU Community Garden is the Sycamore Food Forest, which consists of a permaculture food forest, a market garden, and a pollination garden. This innovative project, which began in 2018, aims to mimic a natural forest environment while growing edible plants. With over 100 fruit trees, 30 fruit bushes, and various vegetables, the food forest provides a sustainable source of fresh produce that is donated to local food pantries.
Student leaders involved in the BlueStem Internship Program oversee the planning, maintenance, and harvest at the food forest. Through this program, interns gain valuable experience in sustainable agriculture practices and help support the free CSA-program with the Sycamore Food Pantry. To learn more about how you can get involved, visit the ISU Community Garden Application or contact ISU Sustainability at 812-232-8502 or ISU-Sustainability@indstate.edu. Join us in cultivating a greener, more sustainable future for our community.
