The Campus Gardens at the University of Utah began with a professor of biology, Dr. Fred Montague, who taught Global Environmental Issues and Ecologoical Principles of Organic Gardening using outdoor laboratories. These outdoor laboratories were transformed into garden sites by the Campus Gardens Advisory Committee upon Dr. Montague's retirement in 2010. The first garden, the Sill Garden, surrounds the Office of Undergraduate Studies just east of the Union building. The second garden site, Pioneer Garden, is just east of the Pioneer Memorial Theater. The gardens project is active year-round with summer and fall the height of the growing season.
