About us

Campus Crops is a student run urban gardening initiative at McGill University's downtown campus. We want to grow food on campus, by students, for students. We have been running garden behind the School of Environment building at 3534 University since 2007. In 2009 we started a terrace garden behind the James Administration building. We're really excited to keep improving these two spaces, and need lots of helping hands for the summer ahead! Get in touch and get gardening!

Increasing the garden's accessibility

Campus Crop's terrace garden behind the James Administration building on McGill Campus is being set up this week to be wheelchair accessible for its gardeners.

Growing on the terrace this summer are many containers of peppers, tomatoes, beans, peas, eggplant, cucumbers, kale, and colourful flowers. Come learn about urban agriculture and go home with veggies all summer long!

If you or someone you know would be interested in joining Campus Crops during its work sessions, contact campuscrops@gmail.com for more info or to express any accessibility needs.

Garden hours are Tuesdays from 5-7 pm, Thursdays from 1-3 pm, Sundays from 3-5 pm.

The terrace garden can be accessed by wheelchair in many ways:

1. Enter campus by the Milton Gates and go up the first road to your right, past the James Admin building. The terrace will be on your left.
2. Enter campus by one of the many wheelchair ramps along University street, north of Milton, and head south on campus towards the James Admin building. The terrace will be on your right.
3. Enter campus through the McTavish or Roddick gates and head east on campus towards the Milton gates. Head north before the gates, past the James Admin building. The terrace will be on your left.
