Community Garden

The Weber State Community Garden is a student-managed and operated garden that is focused on providing fresh fruit and vegetables. The food grown in the garden is donated to the Weber Cares Pantry and within the local community. The garden offers education on home gardening, composting, and advice for plant care. Volunteers gain practical experience working in a horticultural setting and the first pick of produce.

Volunteering/Working in the Garden & Support

Volunteering days are case by case throughout the growing season. If you would like to volunteer, collect service hours, or if you are an educator on campus and would like to inquire a tour or pursue research studies at the garden, please contact the garden coordinator by emailing gardenclub@weber.edu or signing up for weekly meetups via GivePulse.

  • Planning, seed starting, and planting
• June - August: Mid-Season
  • Maintenance and harvesting
  • July Planting
• September - November: Late-Season
  • Harvesting and clean up
• December - February: Off-Season
  • Workshops, Planning, Rest and Relaxation
  • Overwintering Practices
