A beautiful diversity of living things have been sown and harvested in the St. Cloud State University Community Garden — all because 17 years ago Tracy Ore planted her vision and her knees on a scrubby patch of campus land on Fifth Avenue.
Tracy Ore and the multigenerational team of volunteer gardeners and community partners she has attracted to the garden have grown a rich array of produce, flowers and relationships on what soon became a campus/community intersection for cultivating what Ore calls "environmental and community sustainability."
It's a true community garden, an idea Ore says germinated as a result of one of those conversations that happen when a wonderful mentor comes along to change the trajectory of your life.
If you would like to become involved with the upcoming season of the St. Cloud State University Community Garden, please contact Dr. Tracy Ore.
