Inscription. The North Central College community garden project demonstrates the College's commitment to sustainability and promoting locally grown, healthy food options for students. In 2010, volunteers helped maintain the first successful garden season. Currently, a large number of plots are used to grow food for Chartwells, supplying Kaufman Dining Hall with local and organic produce. A small garden plot behind Kaufman Dining Hall is also used to supply fresh herbs. Along with Chartwells, volunteers have secured their own plots to plant vegetables and flowers.
