SLC Organic Garden

The Campus Garden 

The Sustainability Learning Community Organic Garden was started in 2006 by a group of ANU students and staff. 

The garden fosters a sense of community amongst participants and offers a creative and relaxing space on campus.  It also provides opportunities for hands-on interdisciplinary educational experiences and acts as a living laboratory for student projects.  

It employs the principles of organic gardening and permaculture and makes use of composting materials from the ANU campus.  These are sourced from landscaping and garden materials and food scraps from campus cafes and residence halls.

 

Where is the Garden? 

The SLC garden is located on the ANU campus next to the Canberra Environment Centre at the junction between Lawson Crescent and Lennox Crossing on Acton Peninsula, adjacent to the International Sculpture Park and near the National Museum.  Show me a map.

  

Get Your Hands Dirty! 

Interested in getting involved in the garden?  Come along to a regular working bee in the garden.  First semester 2009 working bees are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm and Saturdays from 10am-12pm.  To be notified of upcoming events send an email to slc@anu.edu.au.  

 

No gardening experience necessary!  There is always something to be done and we appreciate new ideas and enthusiasm!
