Giving Day 2026

CSU Connected Gardens

The CSU Garden Initiative is dedicated to cultivating a more sustainable, innovative, and resilient future by integrating cutting-edge technology with urban gardening practices. Our mission is to empower students, faculty, and the community to engage in sustainable food production, environmental stewardship, and technological innovation.

The food that is grown at the gardens is distributed to the Lift Up Vikes! Food Pantry. For this season alone, over 40 lbs. of fresh produce have been gathered and donated to students, faculty and staff. 

Gifts to the CSU Connected Gardens help support annual operating expenses and eventual expansion of the gardens including a new greenhouse on campus. Thank you!
