Student involvement and leadership in the campus gardens



Students at the University of Utah have the chance to be involved in the Edible Campus Gardens all year long. In the fall gardeners can grow produce into late October and can collect leaves to use in compost materials. During the winter months students can prepare the gardens with compost and can grow certain weather hardy vegetables. Then finally in the spring and summer months are when the most produce can be grown and enjoyed all around campus. Students  can volunteer and are paid in fresh produce and they can also take leadership positions like the garden experts shown in the video.
