Campus Garden
#5f5f5f
<p><strong>W&L's half-acre Campus Garden provides an average of 1500 pounds of hyper-local, organically grown produce to campus dining venues, the <a href="https://my.wlu.edu/campus-food-pantry">student food pantry</a>, and, in partnership with W&L's <a href="https://my.wlu.edu/the-shepherd-program/community-engagement/campus-kitchen-at-washington-and-lee">Campus Kitchen</a>, to food insecure communities throughout Rockbridge County, every season.</strong> The space also serves as a living lab for research and place-based course work, and an informal space for connecting with the basics of how we, and the soil we eat from, are nourished.</p>
<p>Campus Garden operations also include the university composting system, where food and compostable to-go servingware collected from Dining are managed to break down into rich compost material that is ultimately added back to the garden to nourish the soil. <strong>Supervised by our Manager of Campus Garden and Compost Programs, students are hands-on in planting, tending, and harvesting produce and in finishing the cycle through compost collection and application.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Campus Dining and the Garden share a mission to improve flavor, nutrition, and environmental impacts of food on campus </strong>through thoughtful sourcing and low waste operations, and to build a W&L community of informed, enthusiastic eaters and gardeners!</p>
<p>Check out the sidebar to connect with opportunities in the garden. Whether you are a faculty member looking for a curricular connection, a student looking to volunteer, or an over-screened and over-scheduled human needing a wander through the pollinator friendly plantings, the garden is ready to welcome you.</p>
