Student Sustainability Collective

Neighborhood Community Garden

The Neighborhood Community Garden is a student run collective which manages a gardening space on the UCSD campus (specifically behind the Che Cafe Co-op).  The collective was founded in 2008, initially throught the Roots & Shoots organization in UCSD, but then emerged independently.  The garden serves many goals, which are listed below:

- To create and maintain a space where UCSD students and La Jolla community members can come together and learn about food and where it comes from

- To provide locally grown, ecologically sustainable food to the community

- To host events which foster community and promote healthy, ecological eating habits

- To provide an open space for UCSD students and faculty members to gather informally or for classes in the beauty of the outdoors

- To encourage recreational activity that is not only FUN, but provides a service to the surrounding community and benefits the local environment
