Horticulture & Environmental Club

Our current project is an organic garden for use as a practical learning platform for environmentally sound horticulture. The founding of an organic vegetable garden encourages more interest for other students, faculty, staff and the community to learn and put in practice environmentally healthy horticulture. The excess food that is produced by our garden will find its way into the local food stream of the hungry in our community. As a club we are also interested in encouraging sustainable practices both on our campus and the College's service region.  We have done activities such as stream cleaning, bringing climate scientists to campus for talks, visiting a fracking site, investigating and promoting recycling and more!

Student club members meet at the community garden (next to the Dickinson Building) on Fridays from 3:00-5:00 p.m. and Sundays from 2:00-4:00 p.m. (usually one shift a week).  

All clubs and organizations are open to all full- and part-time PVCC students with the exception of the National Society of Leadership and Success and Phi Theta Kappa, which are both by invitation based on GPA.

This organization has members who are Piedmont Virginia Community College students and may have College employees associated with or engaged in its activities and affairs. These individuals are not spokespersons for the College but rather express their personal views.
