Help Relocate the SPROUTS Student Garden at Indiana University

We support a new location for the SPROUTS student garden that is in accordance to the organization's vision, not just the University's.

Why is this important?

The SPROUTS garden has been displaced because of an Indiana University building plan, with no place to go. In its 9 years of existence, the garden has served thousands of students with education in organic gardening, food literacy, sustainability, as well as provided fresh organic produce and medicinal herbs to volunteers and local food agencies, and an environment that fosters friendship and community.

Without the garden, SPROUTS almost doesn't exist. Destroying this garden will remove a priceless benefit from the IU community. Relocation is essential for SPROUTS to continue is mission on campus.
