About SEED Wayne

SEED Wayne is dedicated to building sustainable food systems on the campus of Wayne State University and in Detroit communities. 

SEED Wayne works in partnership with community-based organizations promoting access to healthy foods, urban agriculture, farm-to-institution, and food planning and policy development. 

SEED Wayne embraces core university functions in teaching, research, engagement and operations. 

Student leadership is central to SEED Wayne’s success.

SEED Wayne projects are located on campus and in the community.  Browse projects here.

Our campus projects started with a vegetable and herb garden called the Warrior Demonstration Garden (established 2008) and a pilot farmers market, with two days in 2008.  Since then, we have developed two other campus gardens, the St. Andrew's Allotment Garden and the Parking Structure #5 Experimental Garden.  We also offer a weekly farmers market called the Wayne State Wednesday Farmers Market.
