Orange Is the New Green: Pete’s Giving Garden and South Campus Food Pantry Support Students Through Sustainability

Tucked away on the University’s South Campus, on a plot of land off of Skytop Road, is a photogenic garden full of life.

Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics food studies and nutrition program and the Hendricks Chapel Food Pantry. The garden has been open since 2017 and its bounty has been making appearances in kitchens on and off campus ever since.
