[UNC Library @UNCLibrary]

Have items to donate? @EdibleCampusUNC is collecting items for the Carolina Cupboard, an on-campus food pantry that provides food at no cost to students who are facing food insecurity. A collection box is located at the entrance of Davis Library.

This past week at the garden, we cleared and prepped plant beds with lettuce, collards, swiss chard, beets and arugula! We also distributed the very last of the persimmons.

[Carolina Community Garden (CCG) @CCGunc]

This week, our volunteers came together to weed major pathways, chop and turn compost, prepare cardboard for mulch, and plant more fall crops! Collards, snap peas, kale, persimmons, mint, bottle gourd, and mustard were harvested and distributed to 14 UNC Housekeepers

Our volunteers finally harvested our peanuts today after 130 days! The peanut plant is unusual because of its long growing cycle and the way it flowers above the ground, but fruits below it

Another great opportunity coming up this week

Starting immediately, we cannot have any volunteers at the garden. We also cannot accept compost donations. Although we are very sad to have to implement these new restrictions, we want to do whatever we can to keep our volunteers healthy. In the meantime, we will miss you all!

[Carolina Community Garden (CCG) @CCGunc]

We will be back in the garden Sunday, starting at 2 pm. and ending at 5 p.m. to:
•Plant hundreds of spring seedlings
•Compost
•Install more fencing &
•Harvest for a distribution Tuesday morning.
Please join us!
