The Department of Health Sciences at Lehman College, in collaboration with the Adult Learning Center, started the garden in 2009 as a way to educate the Lehman community about growing food.  The Edible Garden sits within a white picket fence on a rectangular patch of land between the Fine Arts Building and Gate 6 on Goulden Avenue.

This photo series was first documented on May 15, 2009.

Volunteers are taking advantage of the nice day in May to plant herbs, vegetables, and flowers.

Garden enthusiasts are chatting about the variety of herbs.

This squash blossom is also edible.

A student volunteer helps tend the garden and gets a chance to learn about how food is grown.
