Did you know that our UC campus is full of edible plants? 🌱🍑
From apricots and figs to guavas, feijoas, pears, and plums, our campus is filled with fruit trees and edible plants waiting for you to discover and enjoy. 🥭🍐 Use the foraging map to hunt down these seasonal goodies and taste what UC has to offer! 🗺️🍒
But our plantings are more than just delicious—they connect our UC community with nature, sustainability, and food security. 🍃 In 2023, we proudly signed the Edible Canterbury Charter to support food resilience in our region, committing to grow and share fresh produce, foster healthy communities, and build local food systems. 🌾🤝
But it’s not just about free food—it’s about connecting with nature, sustainability, and food security. Next time you’ve got a break between classes, see if you can hunt out some in season food!
