Many of the student gardens at the Commonwealth Campuses offer the produce through farm stands and food pantries. The effort brings healthy food options to areas where people may not regularly have access to them, or might not have the resources to buy them. Students and community members alike benefit from the programs, which are open to the public.
Beyond tending to plants and vegetables, students can intern or volunteer with the campus gardens to learn about a variety of disciplines and conduct research. The spaces offer an opportunity for hands-on, experiential learning.
