Forbes Garden

Forbes College plays an integral role in supporting and promoting sustainability and food awareness on campus through the Princeton Garden Project at Forbes, a student initiative through the Office of Sustainability.

With a large demonstration garden on site next to the Forbes' college house (79 Alexander), the Garden Project aims to cultivate a passion for sustainably produced food at Princeton and to provide the knowledge necessary for students to make informed food choices. It provides fresh, student-grown produce to the Forbes dining hall and offers a host of events from lectures to harvest dinners to outdoor movie screenings. Anyone is welcome to join in on workdays, morning harvests, and other events!  Go to the Princeton Garden Project  page for current events and dates.
