Pet Therapy Partnership with UNC Libraries

We've officially made it to the last day of exams! Congratulations on making it through another difficult semester. I hope you were able to destress throughout the exam week with the therapy dogs and miniature horses that Edible Campus hosted in partnership with UNC Libraries. If you weren't able to make it, that's okay, we hope to do a similar event in the future! 

We'd like to extend our gratitude to UNC Libraries and Stampede of Love for helping make these events happen! We hope it made a difference for those who were able to attend.

Stay up to date with what we are working on and receive updates about upcoming events by following our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

First Annual Food Drive for Carolina Cupboard

11/8-11/22

"For students, by students"

Edible Campus addresses student food insecurity in a variety of ways. Some of our efforts include donating produce from Main Garden to Carolina Cupboard, maintaining satellite beds that are free for students to forage, and producing educational materials like the Carolina Cookbook. However, there is a gap around this time each year in how much produce we're able to donate as we transition from summer to fall and winter crops. That's why we hosted Edible Campus' first annual food drive, where we partnered with other student organizations, UNC departments, and the Town of Chapel Hill to combat student food insecurity.

We've wrapped up our first annual food drive.  We want to extend our gratitude to the organizations that partnered with us on this initiative!

We made a huge impact and could not have done this without you!

Workday Updates

Thanks to our workday volunteers, in the past two weeks, we turned and created compost piles, cleaned up the North Campus satellite beds, and potted around 20 very young paw paw and persimmon trees to be planted on campus next year! 

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to all of our volunteers this Fall! We accomplished so much that could not have been done without you. We hope that you'll volunteer with us next Spring, and if not, that you took some knowledge and happiness with you after spending some time in the gardens with us.
