Recently, the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Office of Sustainability brought together some 50 staff members to get outside and garden together as part of the Staff Community Garden project. Organizers want to give ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ staff a new way to connect, learn about gardening, and get engaged in other sustainability initiatives around campus.

Shona Watt, Sustainability Programs Coordinator of theΒ ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Office of SustainabilityΒ (MOOS) said she was encouraged to see so many people turn out over their lunch break to garden. β€œSummer is approaching and I think we’re all excited to get our hands in the soil! I’m happy to see that so many units are interested in having bins,” she said. β€œIt can work really well if you plant high yield crops that tend to work well: cherry tomatoes, kale, herbs, arugula, beans, peas, ground cherries, lettuce, climbing cucumbers, etc.”
