Organic Garden Allows Students, Faculty, and Staff to Learn and Grow Together

posted in Make Big Use of Big Resources, News and Features, Students, Top News

The Lafayette College Organic Garden covers two acres on Sullivan Trail just south of the Metzgar Fields Athletic Complex. One acre is a community garden for faculty, staff, and families to tend their own plots. The other section is where students work together spring through fall to grow healthy produce without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

“Is College Worth the Cost?”

At Lafayette, the answer is a resounding yes. Payscale.com reports that Lafayette is third among all liberal arts schools in average starting salary (excluding military academies) and sixth in 30-year return on investment.
