The Sprout Garden will be relocating this fall from its Forest Avenue location to make room for the DMPS Community Stadium project. The garden’s new location will be in the grassy area west of campus on 31st Street, just south of Drake West Village. The new space will allow the garden to expand its growing capacity and educational opportunities through the addition of native plants, trees, and permaculture. You may start seeing this move occur over the next several weeks. While the proposed expansion will happen in phases, click on the photo to see what the space may look like one day.

There are volunteer opportunities and opportunities for classes to get involved with the garden. Email amanda.martin@drake.edu to learn more.
