Edible Campus Gardens


The mission of the Edible Campus Gardens is to engage the campus through garden-based education and urban food production to foster environmental stewardship, community resilience, and belonging on campus.

The Edible Campus Gardens create a living, learning laboratory environment on campus. During the growing season, we harvest a wide variety of vegetables and greens to donate to the Feed U Pantry. Since 1996, our gardens have been a resource for the campus community to receive fresh produce, conduct research and facilitate sustainable gardening practices. Discover more about the gardens, volunteer opportunities, academic applications and ways to stay connected.
