Event details:
This event is for everyone! Come and visit The School of Education Urban Garden at Purdue Fort Wayne! Take a tour of our garden and learn about the many ways in which the garden has served as a hub for community engagement, a teaching space for college students and children, and partnered with the Friends of the Pantry at Purdue Fort Wayne to help address food security. Have fun and paint a rock to leave at the garden or take it home to your own garden. This is a child and family friendly event.

Purdue University Fort Wayne School of Education Urban Garden
The School of Education Urban Garden was founded in 2019 as a demonstration and teaching garden for students, faculty, and staff at Purdue Fort Wayne. Since its beginning, the project has hosted elementary age children for gardening activities and tours, held a farm to fork dinner at student housing, provided fresh produce to the food pantry on campus, and been involved in a number of other community events and activities. 

The FRIENDS of the University Pantry at Purdue Fort Wayne is stocked with a variety of packaged and canned foods and helps food-insecure members of both the university – including students, staff, and faculty – and the community.
