Our Crowdfunding Groups
The TIGUrS Urban Garden, located behind the Elma Roane fieldhouse, not only nurtures organically grown vegetables and herbs free to all, but also provides students, faculty, staff and the UofM community a wellness-focused greenspace featuring amenities that facilitate exercise, socialization, quiet study, cookout gatherings, and a meditative experience in nature, right here on campus. Always in need of replacement tools, composted soil, mulch, plants, seed, and many other elements that enhance and expand your garden and it's greenspace, your support will help keep the garden green, tasty, interesting, and fun.
If you have questions pertaining to this ongoing project, would like to volunteer, or wish to discuss support that extends beyond this platform, feel free to email Art Johnson, Project Coordinator, at art.johnson@memphis.edu or call (901) 678-4201. See you in the garden!
When it comes to maintaining a hearty greenspace and organic garden, a few drops of water, a couple of seeds, a dash of compost, and so forth; the smallest of things can have a huge impact. Your contribution counts!
Pulling together the elements to keep your garden expanding takes special focus and an extra effort. In your garden, the more given equals the more received.
All organic crops in your TIGUrS Garden are free to anyone. We only ask that you leave enough for others. Of course, with this level of contribution, we can put more in for you to pick out and more folks can share in the bounty.
Keeping a garden free of weeds and pests requires a deeper commitment. Looking for better ways to help the garden grow will ensure a better harvest. This level of donation helps to ensure a stronger foundation.
As you come to know your garden's needs and challenges, you see that no effort is wasted. Thus, expanding your garden keeps the crops as well as the experience fresh and interesting. This level of commitment is fundamental to it's allure and success.
As a garden is an ongoing work-in-progress; maintaining supporting assets, incorporating new features and events, ever giving back to students, staff, faculty, and our community, replenishing what is shared is paramount. This level of contribution affords all of the above and so much more.
