The aim of this project is to enable students and members of UNIL/EPFL to grow vegetables organically on campus. It is a place for exchange and learning about gardening, but also a place where people can (re)discover a relationship with the earth and nature. In addition, this project aims to raise awareness in the university community about issues such as local agriculture and food sovereignty.

The garden has just over 40 plots, some of which are individual and others are “communal,” where anyone can come and participate more freely. Individual plots are assigned at the beginning of each semester, and people who already have a plot have priority to take it again the following semester. The only requirement to participate, regardless of the type of plot, is to become a member of Unipoly for CHF 5 per semester. No special knowledge is required.

We also have all the necessary tools and take care of purchasing seeds based on everyone’s choices. A greenhouse is also available for seedlings.

In addition to gardening, there are regular projects related to shared infrastructure. Soon, we would like to set up a rainwater collection system, clean and rebuild our pond, build perches for birds of prey, and much more!
