"The UWSP campus garden was created in the spring of 2006 by the Sustainable Agriculture in Communities Society (SACS). The garden, located on Franklin Street across from the Fire Station, is maintained by SACS members and is currently in its fourth growing season. SACS utilizes the garden to host workshops on various topics such as canning and composting. The garden is also used as an outdoor classroom to teach students about organic farming principles and alternative farming techniques, such as greenhouse season extension and vermicomposting. The garden’s produce is for sale and is also used for events such as the SACS harvest dinner. Vegetables grown include turnips, kale, Swiss chard, onions, peppers, and carrots."
