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.

Over 100 Lbs So Far
Last week, our overflowing cucumber bed began to produce and that has created a large increase in the amount of weight collected. In less than 1 week, we have harvested nearly 25 pounds of cucumbers, both burpee and lemon varieties, and there is little sign of our massive vines slowing down. Today's picking equaled 23 pounds in total including other crops. Having crossed the 100 pound mark, we are 1/10 of the way towards our goal.
