Campus Garden
The UA Little Rock Campus Garden is a place for Education, Research, and Outreach about food production, sustainability, economic botany, ecology, and more. The Garden contains a variety of spaces, including in-ground vegetable gardens, Arkansas native plant gardens, aerobic composting, 28 raised beds, and two keyhole beds! We use only organic and sustainable methods and techniques and are committed to reusing, recycling, upcycling, and sustainability including strategic water use and conservation.
In 2016, the Campus Garden Alliance was founded to bring together UA Little Rock students, staff, and faculty that share a love of gardening. All UA Little Rock community members are invited and encouraged to Become A Campus Gardener!
See you at the Garden!
