Food Pantry Donations

Onion

The Luther gardeners had a great 2012 growing season and gladly shared their abundance with the local food pantry throughout the summer and into the fall. The food pantry received a variety of produce such as tomatoes, basil, onions and peppers. 

Salad Bowl Days

Salad Bowl Days

New to Luther's campus in the summer of 2012 was the opportunity for members of the Luther community to enjoy a special treat. Throughout the summer the Luther gardeners  had them bring a bowl to one of the edible landscapes and filled it with mixed greens, spinach, arugula and other salad toppings coming from the campus gardens and local producers. Visitors were also given a bag of greens to take home.

Recipe books were given away and samples of squash bread and roasted squash were available to try.

Basil

Basil from the edible landscapes and campus production gardens was shared with the campus community during the peak of basil season, along with a recipe for pesto to help educate about the edible landscapes and deliciousness of basil in the summertime.
