The summer has been good to us and we are finally starting to see some squash and pumpkins growing. We only have 2 more weeks here, before we leave the garden and return home for the remainder of the summer. The first two squash were harvested from the garden this week and were turned into a delicious squash curry which was enjoyed by many. Lena and I are both excited for the Local Foods Gracious Dinner in late September, where our crops will be showcased in the MHC dining halls, and we hope that you are excited too.
As usual, if you have any questions or comments, please email lpafridi@gmail.com or kagan20a@mtholyoke.edu
About Me
- Garden Managers
- The Mount Holyoke Student Gardening Initiative, also known as Crops for Closer Community began as an independent study in 2004. The current garden was founded in the summer of 2007. Initial funding was provided by the generosity of the Senior Class of 2007, as well as the Center for the Environment. The garden's produce is sold annually to the Mount Holyoke College Dining Services, who prepare the food for a Locally Grown themed dinner. The garden will serve as a platform to initiate conversations about local food production, food security, and overall campus sustainability. Crops for Closer Community is an initiative of the Mount Holyoke Food Justice Society, a student run organization, as well as the Center for the Environment, with support from the Environmental Studies Department.
