About the Communiversity Gardens
The NIU Communiversity Gardens were started as a collaborative effort between Northern Illinois University and DeKalb County Community Gardens (DCCG). DCCG is an innovative approach to end food insecurity in DeKalb County by providing access to fresh, local, sustainably-grown organic vegetables for all who may be in need.
The NIU Communiversity Gardens (NIUCG) strongly believe in DCCG’s message and outlook. The gracious partnership allows NIUCG to continually serve NIU and DeKalb County residents with local, fresh produce, as well as education and volunteer opportunities.
Today, NIUCG is continually evolving and thriving under the care of students, faculty, staff and community member volunteer efforts.
