Garden Plots for Penn State Graduate Students

We, the undersigned, express interest in, and show support for, obtaining suitable land for garden plots on the University Park campus of The Pennsylvania State University. These garden plots will be for graduate students to grow vegetables during the spring, summer, and early fall months of the year.

As Penn State began as an agricultural school, the tradition of supporting agriculture and more specifically, student agricultural endeavors, should be upheld in the highest regard.

Penn State has been generous in the past to provide this opportunity to its graduate students (i.e. Circleville Farm), but this land is no longer available. The only option right now for graduate students is to use land at Tudek Park Community Gardens. While, the Tudek gardens are a nice option to have, there are only limited numbers of plots available to graduate students. Plots are desparately needed on campus that are specifically designated as Penn State Grad Student garden plots.

If you feel that it would be in the best interest of the University to provide its graduate student community with the opportunity to experience the joys of agriculture through garden plots, please click the link below to electronially sign your name to the petition.

Thank you,
The GSA Garden Plot Committee
