Work in the Garden

The UIS Community Garden is already sleeping for the fall and winter seasons. We will reopen in April for our 10th growing season! Watch our social media pages and Campus Announcements for information about special garden events in Fall 2024.

Visit the Garden

The garden is always open for anyone to come and weed, harvest, or pass time. Please be sure that you close the gate tightly when you leave to keep out hungry rabbits, groundhogs, and deer. You do not need permission to visit the garden, but we ask that you respect the rules posted on our Guidelines Page. The garden location is described on our About Page.

Facebook

We will post information about the garden, including invitations to our work nights and other events, on the UIS Community Garden Facebook page. Like our page to follow our posts. You do not have to have a Facebook account to view the page. We love it when you take pictures in the garden and post them to social media!

UIS Community Garden Club

We also have an official UIS registered student organization, the Community Garden Club. Visit our Community Garden Events on UIS Connection to be added to our email distribution list and find out about upcoming events.
