MCV Community Garden

The MCV Campus Community Garden, initiated by a VCU student group in 2012, is located on the east side of the Larrick Student Center. It consists of 14 raised beds and two wheelchair accessible beds with over 1,300 square feet of growing space, with the beds divided into smaller plots for individual gardeners. 

VCU and VCU Health students and employees and community members can rent plots by the semester or year with plot rental cost dependent upon size. Plots usually become available at the end of a semester, though students and employees can be added to the waitlist throughout the year. Beds are divided into various sizes, with rental cost dependent on plot size and length of rental term. Gardening tools are provided, and a garden representative for those in need of assistance.

The garden can also be used for events, meetings and educational class visits.

To inquire about plot rental and availability; using the garden for an event, meeting or class; or to learn more about healthy eating, food access, urban gardening and farming; and more, email gardens@vcu.edu.
