Mission Statement

To foster an increased awareness of the local and global interconnections associated with food production and consumption by directly linking the Mount Holyoke College Community to the Garden through academics, the campus dining experience, and student volunteer work. The Mount Holyoke Student Garden will also build connections and share knowledge with the agricultural community of the Pioneer Valley, thereby strengthening Mount Holyoke's relationship to the local environment.

HARVEST FESTIVAL AT THE GARDEN

It is harvest season! Come lend a hand in the annual MHC student garden harvest. Our garden interns have worked hard to produce wonderful crops of pumpkins, potatoes, and squash, all of which will be featured in the Local Gracious Dinner in dining halls on Thursday, Sept 25th.

JOIN US AT 1PM ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19th AT THE STUDENT GARDEN (ON THE DELLES HILL)

We will be picking, digging, clearing, weighing, sorting, playing, eating, laughing, singing, and maybe even dancing. At 4 we will deliver the produce to dining services and wish them well in the preparation of this wonderful local meal.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or want to help out, email ariel kagan at kagan20a@mtholyoke.edu.

See you there!
