Gardening with UMSL Sustainability
Community Garden
Currently, one community garden exists on campus, which was created as joint endeavor between the UMSL Sustainability department and the Environmental Adventure Organization in the Spring of 2015. The UMSL Community Garden is open to all students and staff who are interested (and everyone in the UMSL Green Team!) and we will make every effort to accommodate all potential gardeners. Since we only have 14 raised beds, gardeners may be asked to share garden bed plots and form a "team” or group of people to share the responsibility for each garden bed.
Native Gardening remains essential to heal the environmental trauma in our city. But it's more than Biodiversity, it's about healing relationships between humans, communities, and the natural World.

Eye on UMSL Native Gardens:
In addition to our community garden, UMSL Sustainability works with Facilities Management, EAO, UMSL Biology, and GreenTeam volunteers, to provide beautiful Native Landscapes on campus. The Native Garden spaces are located at the UMSL Recreation and Wellness Center near the bike racks, which are available to work in during the hours posted on TritonConnect. The community garden is surrounded by a native prairie managed by Facilities and the GreenTeam.
