Bill Sorensen gestures at a stalk of amaranth, which produces edible leaves and seeds, or can remain ornamental for its flowers. Above the plant are squash vines, grown up a frame so that the squash hang down and are easier to pick. The East Campus Community Gardens contain a variety of plants, flowers and herbs to the tastes of the families who rent plots at $35 per year. July 1, 2025.
