The Garden Project

The Vision

The overall objective of the Students Without Borders / Organic Garden Club - Garden Project is to design a completely sustainable garden system. All aspects of the garden will be internal to the UNH community. We will gather our water and power from natural resources, the food will be grown for students by students, uneaten and waste food from the dining halls will come back to the garden to be used as compost and all proceeds from the sale of the food will go to the upkeep of the garden. This garden will be a permanent feature of the UNH community as well as a valuable learning experience for all those involved. The key objective is to build technologically sound systems of simple design that can be easily maintained. This goes for all aspects of the project. We are not looking for state of the art systems with new unheard of technologies. We will utilize systems that have been proven to work, focusing on durability and longevity. Through a strong and committed team effort we will be able to conceive, create, and construct a sustainable garden system for the benefit of the UNH community for years to come.
