In 2009, a group of Planners working for Provo City decided to transform the underutilized planting beds on the south side of the city campus into a flourishing urban garden. The garden is now in its sixth year. Volunteering their time, the planners have able to grow and donate over 2000 lbs of fresh produce to a local food bank.

Darrin Nordahl
Special thanks to Darrin Nordahl for his mention of our garden in this article he wrote for Grist Magazine. Darrin is a planner, teacher, presenter, author who (among other things) has spoken broadly about a concept he calls "municipal agriculture." You can read all about it in this fine book he wrote last year. It's nice to be a part of this "new breed of Urban Agriculture." Thanks Darrin.
