EDIBLE CAMPUS GARDENS
The mission of the Edible Campus Gardens program is to engage our community through garden-based education and urban food production to foster environmental stewardship, community resilience, and belonging on campus. During the growing season, we harvest a wide variety of vegetables and greens to donate to the Feed U Pantry.
Since 1996, the gardens have served as a living lab where the campus community can receive fresh produce, conduct research and learn sustainable gardening practices. Individuals are welcome to enjoy lunch or quiet time in the garden during open hours.
Discover more about the gardens, volunteer opportunities, academic applications and ways to stay connected on this page.
