Garden Produce Sale and RooFood

Garden produce for sale MONDAY on College Walk! (Probably at the sundial)
Stop by to pick up Columbia-grown food.

Also, check out a new growing initiative spearheaded by Abi Cohen:

I am pleased to announce that I am working with Matt Palmer, prof. in E3B to make a green roof on top of uris!! He has already been asked by Nilda Mesa, and I'm now working to incorporate a community garden into the plans! Please spread the word about CUFSP's RooFood! Interested people should kindly email me, at ac2689@barnard.edu. Participants will hopefully include (but is by no means limited to) engineering students interested in green roofs and water collection devices!

Best,
Abi
