Founded by master gardener De Ette Silbaugh, students and members of the Sustainable Engineers in 2010, the garden aligns with UC Merced’s mission in “green sustainable” efforts and to help fight food insecurity by providing access to fresh produce. The garden is located on Rancher’s Road behind Valley Terraces/Half Dome and is entirely student supported and maintained. Students can receive free, fresh produce to help prepare healthy meals.
