About Fredrick and Ophelia Tate Ogier Gardens:


Established in 2009, the UNF Organic Garden began as a student initiative and was made
possible by a generous donation from Bruce Ogier. What began with six raised beds next to the
Wildlife Sanctuary has grown into fifteen over the spring of 2012. In the Fall of 2012, our little
garden expanded into a diverse, one acre production on the north side of campus.
The Frederick and Ophelia Tate Ogier Gardens will serve as a living laboratory for students to
explore multiple disciplines. Programs strive to promote student health and wellness through
outdoor recreation & experiential learning. UNF will serve as a model for other non-land grant
universities incorporating experiential learning on farms or with Gardens.
An incredible team of student staff & volunteers maintain the Ogier Gardens. Produce
cultivated by student staff will be sold to the Osprey Caf and featured at UNFs Market Day.
