    1. Grove House - Organic Garden & Orchard

      Created from a parking lot in 1994, the centerpiece of this garden is the chicken house. An example of sustainable agriculture, it is tended by volunteers, students, staff and faculty as well as people from the community.

       

      The Farmworkers Garden is located directly behind the Grove House. Dedicated in 2003, this rose garden honors heroes of the farmworkers’ movement. The rose cultivar ‘Cesar Chavez’ is represented here.

       

      Prominent in Waldo's Garden are Brazilian silk floss trees (Chorisia speciosa) for shade, catnip, and plants attractive to birds and butterflies.
