This space is one of the few co-managed spaces on campus, through a strong partnership with Cascadia and UW Bothell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The space includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10 raised beds,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fruit orchard,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vermicompost bins,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yard waste hot compost from grounds operations, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several pollinator plantings are located adjacent to the farm space, which attract important pollinators needed for the farm to thrive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Involved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Future opportunities for this space are limitless and open, so please join the conversation and help shape the future of the Campus Farm! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adopt a Farm Bed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Every March, we invite students, faculty, and staff at UW Bothell and Cascadia College to &#8220;adopt a bed.&#8221; Adopting a bed is commitment to use your assigned farm bed however you would like during the farming season, with the understanding that you will maintain your adopted space. If you are interested in adopting a farm bed, please submit a <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/r\/jh9kFxwZV9\">request form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Courses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Various classes at UW Bothell and Cascadia College incorporate hands-on research and experimentation on the farm throughout the academic year. Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/campus-sustainability\/academics\/courses\">academics webpage<\/a> to learn more about courses that are offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work Parties\/Informal Meet Ups<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to coursework, students, staff, and faculty can get involved through work parties for farm maintenance (watering, weeding, harvesting, planting) or other creative projects on the farm. Work parties occur in the spring and autumn quarters, but day and time details generally change from quarter to quarter. Best volunteer times are March through September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn what is coming up next, email <a href=\"mailto:arusso45@uw.edu\">u<\/a><a href=\"mailto:uwbsust@uw.edu\">wbsust@uw.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Your Own Ideas<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Campus Farm is a space for the campus community to learn, play and experiment with organic farming concepts and develop a community around food and urban agriculture. We welcome all individuals and groups to engage on the farm space however they feel it can benefit them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are always accepting proposals for events and projects at the farm. Want to build a greenhouse for your student club? Hold a work party for your department? Do independent research? Email <a href=\"mailto:uwbsust@uw.edu?cc=sclassen@cascadia.edu\">uwbsust@uw.edu<\/a> with your idea and we will follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edible Campus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Campus Farm, there are many other opportunities to forage on the UW Bothell\/Cascadia College campus if you know where to look! Another aspect of experiential learning and access to healthy, sustainable food is making sure that it is publicly available. Our campus is an edible campus where foraging is open to the public and encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the farm, there is also a historic apple orchard near the Chase House, a campus herb walk along the South side of Commons Hall (UW2) and the Cascadia Food Forest. These edible landscapes improve access to organic, local food \u2014 and educate the community about sustainable agricultural systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also many native plants throughout the campus landscape that are traditional First Foods to Indigenous people. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/wetland\/plants\/urtica-dioica\">Nettles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/wetland\/plants\/camassia-leichtlinii\">camas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/wetland\/plants\/ribes-sanguineum\">red currants<\/a> are just some examples of First Foods that can be found on campus.
