Diversity in the garden

Each of us has a backstory and a heritage that we honor through food. We can learn a lot about other cultures through foodways—the cultural, social, and economic practices related to food.

Our campus garden features veggies and herbs that originated from five of the seven continents. Can you identify which two continents are not represented?
