IU Northwest Community Garden A catalyst for growth, the IU Northwest Community Garden collaboratively builds capacity and connections.

The Garden is open to all members of the campus and public and is committed to education, health, social and physical well-being. A campus-community partnership transformed a vacant lot on campus grounds into a blossoming array of colorful native plants and vegetables. The IU Northwest Community Garden is located on the corner of 35th Avenue and Washington, across from the Anderson Library Conference Center.
