On September 23, the MHC Student Garden had its first annual HARVEST EXTRAVAGANZA! As noted by Anna in her post below, all in attendance had a blast-- between the delicious apples, cider donuts and cider from Atkins Farm (Amherst, MA), making new friends and learning harvest skills with others; creating our beautiful banner, to the petrol-free harvest parade where we delivered all of the garden produce to dining halls around campus.
I've posted below some photos that the illustrious pumpkin-pie baking, produce-weighing mistress herself (Allison Grantham) took throughout the day. Check 'em out!

All told, we had about 75 folks join us.
