Free Fruits, Veggies, & Herbs 

UCM's Campus garden provides a free, alternative food source for students with almost weekly harvests. 

Unwind at the End of The Week

The campus garden is the prefect place to de-stress and spend time around nature while also learning how to grow your own food.

Community Service Opportunities for your club 

Bring your club or fraternity to get volunteer hours 
and make a difference in the UCM community.

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!

Spring crops: strawberries, artichokes, sweet peas, radishes, chard
