The CSUSB Community Garden opened at the perfect time — right after the Obershaw DEN food pantry was remodeled with a refrigerator unit to store fruits and vegetables, offering fresh, healthy options to students facing food insecurity.  The garden is located in the university’s student housing area next to the Serrano Village Quad and has been growing a wide range of produce for the Obershaw DEN since officially opening in October 2017.  The first harvest took place in December 2017 and yielded more than seven pounds of produce donated to the pantry. Students picked a crop of lettuce, arugula, kale and romaine that would provide an estimated 15 to 20 meals. The second harvest came in January 2018 and yielded a crop of broccoli, buttercrunch lettuce and other vegetables. The Community Garden continues to grow and donate produce for the benefit of the Obershaw DEN.
