Michaels has been trying to get more students to realize the hidden beauty behind the foods deemed as ‘ugly.’

Rosa Michaels, NKU alumni, recently began working at Cincy Sprouts, sustainable starts for farm & garden. Here she sells plants and seedlings grown locally without the use of chemical herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers.

Tess Phinney, sustainability director, thinks that having the Community Garden is a great start to build a greener community. She plants her first ever tree, an American Persimmon.

Sydney Smith plants a Pawpaw tree, hoping to get more students excited to plant their own fruits and vegetables in the Community Garden. A Pawpaw is a yellow, sweet fruit similar tasting to an apple.

Smith (right) is planting a Pawpaw fruit tree. She considers a pawpaw to be more on the ‘ugly side of the spectrum,’ but said it’s still just as delicious and even though it’s not ‘pretty’ students shouldn’t get freaked out to eat it.

Megan Clere and Abdulrazaq Alreshaidan present “The Diversion of Food Waste,” which is aimed out getting more students aware of the impacts of wasting food.
