UPEI campus volunteers help Saint Dunstan’s Gardens grow again
The UPEI Chaplaincy Centre, with the help of UPEI Experiential Education, recently recruited a volunteer coordinator and a team of student volunteers to take care of Saint Dunstan’s Gardens through the summer months and into early fall. Thanks to the efforts of these volunteers and others, the gardens have now been renewed and planted with a variety of vegetables.
The Chaplaincy Centre manages Saint Dunstan’s Gardens, which comprises raised vegetable garden beds located behind Memorial Hall with the goal to provide vegetables to Soup for the Soul each fall.
