Congratulations are in order for Brandeis Farmers Club! At the end of last semester Farmers Club was able to create a beautiful Rooftop Garden atop Gerstenzang. Now, several months later, the garden is flourishing. A quick walk through the rows of overfilling planters will take you past fragrant herbs, massive heirloom tomatoes, and Swiss chard, among a variety of other veggies and edible plants. Deservedly so, the garden has received a lot of attention in the local press including the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald and our very own Brandeis Hoot. It is without doubt that this garden has become a source of pride for Brandeis and its students as the newest campus gem. While I myself am not a member of Farmers Club I cannot be prouder of the students who committed their time, love and dedication into making Brandeis and the world a greener, more sustainable and conscious place. I know this sentiment is reflected by many fellow students as well as the members of Her Campus Brandeis. Once again, congratulations to Farmers Club! I cannot wait to see how the project continues to develop!
