Educational harvest
Wofford College’s Community Garden is an ever-changing landscape that offers hands-on learning experiences year-round:
- Learn the art of growing your own food and embrace a healthier lifestyle. The garden is a living classroom where you can dig your hands into the soil and discover the joy of fresh, organic produce and sustainable living.
- Whether you’re planting seeds or simply enjoying the greenery, let the garden be your sanctuary for stress relief and rejuvenation.
- Our garden isn’t just about plants; it’s a place where you can connect with Terriers from all walks of life and form lifelong friendships.
Inclusive plots
Students, faculty and staff are invited to cultivate our community plots. Our demonstration garden features a variety of seasonal vegetables.
Student manager
Meet Jayden Loftis, our current student garden manager. The reins change hands each year or semester, ensuring fresh perspectives and ideas bloom.
Garden leadership
The courtyard garden is a space co-managed by Dr. Amy Telligman, associated professor and chair of environmental studies, and by Stephen Patton, manager of the Goodall building, grounds and gardens, and Donnie Eggleton, groundskeeper. Telligman and students enrolled in ENVS 334, Principles of Sustainable Agriculture, use the courtyard garden as a laboratory space to learn about agroecology as they grow and maintain their own vegetable plots. This course is generally taught in the fall semester. During semesters when this course is not offered, the space is maintained by Patton and Eggleton. Jayden Loftis is the current student manager.
