ACC Learning Gardens

ACC Learning Gardens are an ongoing project of The Office of Energy and Sustainability across many of our ACC campuses. 

In 2026, the raised beds at Highland Campus were built and installed as our first set of raised learning beds at ACC.

School of Arts and Creative Industries has pilot adopted one of those beds for the spring and summer 2026 semesters to enjoy the act of growing together while providing organically grown vegetables and herbs in our bed in hopes of teaching others how to grow these things, and to provide food for those in need.
