The Sacramento Community Garden is maintained by student, staff and faculty volunteers in the McGeorge School of Law and Health Sciences Programs. It enriches the student experience by providing nutritious food, stress relief, hands on learning experiences and opportunities to meet and connect with fellow Pacificans. Student volunteers lead sessions on wellness, stress relief, and gardening methods. Any volunteers helping in the garden are welcome to take produce.
