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.

An Update
Most of the picking takes place Thursday afternoon before the start of the weekend, and Monday morning before the week begins. We average around 25lbs. each harvest. Mostly cucumbers and squash so far, but tomatoes are starting to ripen and peppers and zucchini are getting bigger. Hopefully our daily yield will go up. 1000 lbs is still quite a bit off from where we are now, but who knows once the melons and pumpkins start coming in.
