Campus Garden

The Community Garden on campus has been carefully planned and planted!

This year we can expect Celebrity tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, organic green beans, cucumbers, zucchini and, buttercup squash.

New for us this year, we decided to plant 2 grape vines. We are excited to see how many grapes we can harvest! I forsee grape jelly and juice this Fall!

We also planted climbing flowers, Morning Glory and Clematis. These are beautiful vining plants sure to bring much cheer!

This garden is for everyone, please take what you'd  like in moderation. The CCE office will be harvesting produce to preserve and dehydrate and use for our Monday Drum meals in the future.
