Our Initiative 

Our garden's main goal is to help fight food insecurity on campus by providing students access to fresh produce. 

We provide everything from tea leaves, herbs for cooking, and fruits or veggies for UC students to enjoy. 


Along with the campus garden providing fresh produce and reducing food insecurity, they also offer volunteer opportunities. As a volunteer you help with weeding, planting, maintaining the watering system, and overall maintenance of the garden.

Eating fresh, locally grown produce is not only healthy but helps reduce your carbon footprint!
