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.

Introducing Katie

¡Buenas tardes! I'm Katie and I am a garden intern for the summer. I am a rising junior double majoring in Geology and Spanish. I am from Wellesley, MA but am hoping to move to the West after I graduate. It's the geologist in me that wants some bigger rocks to look at! I am working in the garden this summer for a few reasons. I am interested in experiencing the process of growing organic food because my family has bought farm shares for the past few summers. I also want to learn more about soil science and geochemistry and wanted to stay at mount holyoke this summer. We go to school in the most beautiful area. When I'm not mending fences (literally not conflict resolution), I like to play lacrosse, hike, swim, climb, do yoga or otherwise be active. I also really like playing with dogs and children. My goal is to whip Madeleine and Kayla into shape this summer. 

Saludos!

Katie
