MESA, AZ — Students at an East Valley college campus are sowing seeds for the future in more ways than one.

A student-run garden at Arizona State University’s Polytechnic campus not only teaches sustainability and agricultural lessons but also feeds their community.

Volunteers tend to the garden and harvest its fruits and vegetables which are then given away for free at a pop-up farm stand serving people on the campus.
