Troy Gardens
Troy Gardens, a community owned and managed property on Madison's north side, provides community supported agriculture, community gardens, prairie restoration, and affordable housing for neighborhood residents. CIAS and the Friends of Troy Gardens together secured a $493,603 grant from the Kellogg Foundation for sustainable agriculture education and outreach.
Most of this grant will go to the Friends of Troy Gardens for staffing and project expenses. UW-Madison funds will be used for:
- Participatory research projects focused on the agronomics and economics of the CSA farm
- Investigation of ways to engage all of the neighborhood's ethnic groups in this urban agricultural effort
- Student internships and university class projects at the Troy Gardens site
- Supporting a learning community where university students, staff, faculty, and Troy community residents participate as equals
