CALS Wellness Committee tip: Utilize garden swap bins around campus
As summer comes to a close, the fall harvest is in full swing. Did you grow any fruits or vegetables this season? If you have a bountiful harvest, please consider sharing the excess produce from you garden or your CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) with your co-workers!
A few years ago, the CALS Wellness Committee purchased and labeled bins as “Garden Swap” bins and placed them in various locations around the CALS campus. Gardeners are encouraged to drop off their extra produce in the bins — and for those who would appreciate taking home fresh produce, please check out the bins and take what you’d like. You are welcome to help yourself!
