Grow With Be Well

In partnership with the UT Grow Lab Campus Garden, employees have the opportunity to grow their own fruits and vegetables on campus! Space, seeds, tools, and assistance from the Grow Lab will be provided to participating employees.

Interested? Fill out an employee campus gardening application. Due to space limitations, this program has a maximum of 15 participants. Please be mindful that you will be sharing a garden plot with others, and you will need to set aside time to manage the garden throughout the season.
