Getting Here

See the Market Garden and Ecological Garden on the UC Davis campus map or on Google Maps.

From Campus on Foot/Bikegetting here

From the intersection of Hutchison Drive and La Rue Rd, head west on Hutchison (away from campus). Take your first right onto Extension Center Drive.

The Ecological Garden is located on Extension Center Drive, just past the Plant Reproductive Biology building, on the south/left side of the road. Look for an old yellow field house and a walking path leading into the garden. An SF map is also located here. Take a left on this path to enter the garden. Be cautious about kids and pedestrians on this path. The Field House and adjacent toolshed are the center of operations for the Ecological Garden.

Bowley Science and Teaching Center is located off of Extension Center Drive, just south of the Ecological Garden. Follow directions to the Ecological Garden (above) and continue past the field house on the walking path.  The path ends at the double doors of Bowley Center. Bowley Center is where most Student Farm-oriented lectures and meetings take place.

The Market Garden is located off of Extension Center Drive, just north of the University Extension Center. From Hutchison Rd coming from campus, take a right onto Extension Center Drive. The University Extension Center is a block of red and yellow buildings on your right hand side just after the intersection with Orchard Park Drive. The Packing Shed is the main center of operations for the Market Garden, and is located on the other side of the University Extension Center. Walk through or around the University Extension Center to get there.
