<strong>Whitman</strong> <strong>College</strong> Organic Garden<br />
As we say goodbye to winter in Walla Walla, we explore a special space that<br />
will soon come alive with promise. It won't be long before rows of seasonal<br />
vegetables and herbs greet visitors to the <strong>Whitman</strong> <strong>College</strong> Organic Garden.<br />
This fertile location is also home to a small chicken yard and coop, as well<br />
as a shady spot for student workers and volunteers to relax and enjoy<br />
the garden. Located at the corner of Pacific Street and Penrose Avenue,<br />
the garden was established in 1997 and is tended by members of the<br />
Organic Garden Club, an Associated Students of <strong>Whitman</strong> <strong>College</strong>-funded<br />
organization. In addition to growing produce shared with the campus<br />
community through the <strong>Whitman</strong> Food Pantry, in meals at Cleveland<br />
Commons and at “open garden” events, the garden also plays a role in<br />
composting campus food waste, and serves as a fresh-air lab for<br />
some student science projects.<br />
