 Come volunteer in the Nuh Eevaat Garden during our open volunteer hours! Whether you need service hours for a class, want to get more involved on campus, or are just curious about gardening, this is the perfect opportunity to dig in. No experience? No problem! We’ll provide the tools and guidance—you just bring yourself and a willingness to get a little dirty.
Gardening is a great way to de-stress, connect with nature and contribute to a more sustainable campus. Plus, growing food in our high-desert climate can be tricky, but together, we can learn how to cultivate a thriving garden. Everyone is welcome, so stop by, breathe in the fresh air and be part of this rewarding community effort. See you in the garden!
