Our mission is to engage the campus community in ecologically sound and just food systems through garden-based experience, education and research.

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.

Volunteer in the Gardens

Volunteer sessions are posted in the Weekly Newsletter. If you would like to set up a group volunteer session, contact the the Edible Campus Gardens Coordinator.
