Have you ever wanted to grow your own herbs, vegetables, or flowers—but didn’t know where to start? Now’s your chance.
The OLLU Community Garden is inviting students, faculty, and staff to rent a FREE garden bed on campus and experience the rewards of growing your own food. Whether you’re planting herbs for your dorm, vegetables for your family, or flowers just because, this space is here for you.
This initiative is supported in part by the TExAS FAST Scholars Program, which continues to create meaningful opportunities for students to engage in hands-on learning, sustainability, and community-building experiences right here on campus. For students especially, this is more than gardening—it’s a chance to develop healthy habits, reduce grocery costs, learn about food systems, and connect classroom knowledge to real-world practice.
By reserving a garden bed, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Build community on campus
- Grow your own food
- Practice sustainable living
- Connect with nature
The community garden is located just outside of the Commerce Street gate, behind the soccer fields and Maintenance Shop.
All skill levels are welcome, and no tools are required. Whether you’re a first-time gardener or have years of experience, the garden is designed to be accessible and welcoming to everyone. Spots are limited to don’t wait!
