Recently, the UU直播 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 UU直播 staff a new way to connect, learn about gardening, and get engaged in other sustainability initiatives around campus.
Shona Watt, Sustainability Programs Coordinator of the聽UU直播 Office of Sustainability聽(MOOS) said she was encouraged to see so many people turn out over their lunch break to garden. 鈥淪ummer is approaching and I think we鈥檙e all excited to get our hands in the soil! I鈥檓 happy to see that so many units are interested in having bins,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t 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.鈥�
