Destruction of the ASU Tempe Campus Herb Garden and Community Garden
I am very concerned with the decision to destroy the Herb Garden and the Community Garden at ASU Tempe Campus. Both of these gardens give their harvests to the Pitchfork Pantry and provide a unique experience for students and staff that want to plant, harvest and understand growing food in a hot, desert environment. I understand that budgeting concerns and maintaining these gardens is an issue but there should be a chance for a group to adopt these spaces and maintain them before they are destroyed completely. ASU Polytechnic campus should not be the only campus for these resources.
Resolution/Notes
Thank you for sharing this concern. This has been shared with the appropriate stakeholders and they are considering options to retain the gardens at the Tempe campus.
