The CU Farm and Garden Club is a student organization at the University of Colorado Boulder that cares for and decorates five gardens across campus. Food generated by the gardens supplies graduate student housing with fresh fruit and vegetables. When they’re not tending to the garden, the members spend their time painting the stone pavers that surround the soil.
