During the spring of 2014 a Seed Saving Demonstration garden was planted at the Loyola campus. The purpose of this garden is to teach about seed saving and grow seeds for the Greenhouse, Concordia Seed Library and the Atwater Seed Library. We are in need of volunteers to help with this initiative, if you are able to assist please contact the project.
We meet every Wednesday until September 30th (unless there is an event during this time- please check the events page or if it is raining) from 5:15- 7:15pm at the garden to do regular garden maintenance and seed saving activities.
The Garden is located at the end of Terrebonne Street where it meets the Concordia Campus (zoom in on the map below). The garden is behind Hingston hall A.
