Central College students and staff held a special garden party on Thursday. The event was as an open house for people to try fresh produce and salsa from the organic garden located at the corner of West 4th and Peace. Associate Professor of Biology Paul Weihe says the garden serves two purposes: it acts as a learning laboratory for students to learn about sustainable agriculture and provides food for the dining hall at Central. He says potatoes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs are typically grown in the garden.
