K-State Employee Gardening Group
In partnership with HR's Faculty & Staff Well-Being, the Kansas State University Gardens, is pleased to introduce the K-State Employee Gardening Group. This collaborative initiative provides opportunities for employees to connect around a shared interest in gardening, learn from one another and campus experts, and explore ways to support well-being and sustainability through gardening activities.
Participation may include informal gatherings, educational sessions, plant exchanges, and potential collaborative gardening opportunities across campuses.
Meetings will be held every two weeks on Wednesdays, with the time alternating between 12-1 PM and 3:30-4:30 PM (the later session will be for hands-on activities). Please see the 2026 Meeting Dates listed below.
