🍅🥒🌶️FROM THE GARDEN TO THE GROVE

Students in Waubonsee Community College’s Science and Student Gardening Clubs are growing fresh vegetables and herbs in their own garden on the Sugar Grove Campus and they’re sharing the harvest with fellow students.

“We wanted to grow fresh vegetables so that students wouldn’t have to pay,” said student London Sabalones.

Since the start of the fall semester three weeks ago, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and more from the garden have been donated to The GROVE Student Food Pantry, which opened earlier in August.

“They took it upon themselves to offer up the harvest to donate to our student pantry,” said Andrea Egle, Center for Student Assistance Manager.

The GROVE - an acronym for Gathering Resources and Offering Vital Essentials - is located inside the Student Center on the Sugar Grove Campus and is available to registered students from all four Waubonsee campuses.

🌱 STUDENTS GROW IT. STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM IT.

Something special is growing at Waubonsee! Students in the Student Community Garden Organization are growing fresh tomatoes, peppers, squash, and more …. AND NOW THEIR HARVEST IS HELPING FELLOW STUDENTS.

🌿 Located on the Sugar Grove Campus, the Student Community Garden features raised beds where students plant, water and maintain crops throughout the growing season, gaining hands-on experience with gardening and sustainability.

🌶️ 🍅Fresh produce from the garden is being donated to The GROVE Student Food Pantry, helping provide students with nutritious food and essential resources. It’s a powerful cycle of students learning, serving and supporting one another, all while growing something that gives back.

✂️ Students from the garden organization will be recognized during The GROVE’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. in the Student Center on the Sugar Grove Campus. The public is invited to attend the ceremony, meet the students, and see the pantry. Guests are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to The GROVE.

SEPTEMBER IS HUNGER ACTION MONTH, MAKING THIS STUDENT-LED EFFORT AN ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL WAY TO SUPPORT FELLOW STUDENTS.
