Our Origins

The Holistic Garden started out in 1985 as a small 30 X 30 square foot garden. At that time its purpose was to provide garden space for the garden science laboratory activities. It was grown to nearly an acre and now serves the needs of courses in several disciplines.

The Holistic Garden Mission

Our mission is to maintain an educational garden environment designed to improve quality of life for persons of all ages and abilities. This garden provides complete interaction between all elements of the garden ecosystem and the gardener.

Current Progress

We are doing the new pavers program and vegitable trail plots in the garden. The Whole Scoop! garden newsletter is published quarterly and posted on the website.

Future Growth

The Holistic Garden is to be part of the campus gardens trail. We are planning a new parking facility to host the many volunteers that dedicate their time to the maintenance of the gardens. In the near future, the Trail of Texas Native Edible and Medicinal Plants will be added.
