Garden Mission:

The UC San Diego Student Center Garden, created and cared for by University Centers, nurtures community and sustainability through educational workshops and programs that empower students to cultivate organic nourishment, enhance mental well-being, and foster environmental stewardship.

The garden workshops are completely free to the UC San Diego community and also accessible, meaning you don't have to be a part of a club or any other organization in order to attend. Just show up at the garden at 11am on designated Fridays.

If you would like more information about the garden or have specific inquiries, please email the University Centers Sustainability Assistant at ucensustain@ucsd.edu.

Upcoming workshop dates: Fall 2024 workshop dates to be announced, will be held every monthly on Fridays at 11am
