Did you know that students can take any of the fruits, vegetables, and flowers in the Evergreen housing community gardens? These gardens are a convenient way for students to have access to fresh ingredients right outside their apartments/dorms. RAD Sustainability builds and maintains these gardens for students to enjoy.
Summer Resident Planting Vegetable Seeds
On Friday August 12th at Noon, RAD Sustainability and three summer residents had a garden work party in the courtyard and in the Mod Gardens. During the work party, residents had the opportunity to plant vegetable and fruit seeds for the new raised garden beds in the courtyard. The residents also watered the row of lavenders next to the garden beds. Gardening was a fun and productive way for everyone to get to know each other and take a break from academic studies. The residents also learned a lot about gardening in the Pacific Northwest as well as the ways that these gardens will be helpful for their fellow students.
