Transforming Lives Through Gardening The LCC Learning Garden is a student-led initiative that grows healthy, sustainable food for the LCC community while providing learning, service, and leadership opportunities for students. The Learning Garden is an interdisciplinary educational model that offers students the opportunity to work with others outside the classroom and have fun. Organic vegetables and fruit grow year-round in the garden. The produce is used in the student-run restaurant, the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Program special events, and the cafeteria. Volunteers enjoy an occasional harvest as well. The Learning Garden offers students leadership experience. It is a great way to be actively involved in implementing sustainability measures on campus. Learning Garden volunteers may qualify for work study, internships, or service learning credit from specific faculty who support the garden with their curriculum. The garden offers opportunities to explore creative garden design, observe and cultivate plant communities and learn basic organic agriculture and permaculture principles. Students meet in a unique context, build friendships and savor the rewards of their labor. The Garden was established in Spring '06 and has attracted students from many disciplines across campus, including the ESL program. Learning Garden club members are a diverse, energetic group dedicated to stewarding our environment, honoring the natural world that sustains us, and providing produce for great meals! If you would like to get involved and help contribute to Lane’s campus sustainability, please consider joining the Learning Garden Club and volunteering in the garden.
