Student Eats

“Student Eats” is a collaboration between the National Union of Students’ (NUS) and Keele’s Students’ Union to establish a food growing scheme for students on campus. More and more students are becoming interested in growing their own produce, and are becoming conscious of the ethical and environmental impact of their food choices.

Interested in growing your own food?

Student Eats provides a great opportunity to grow, eat and share food which is organic, nutritious, fresh, local, low-carbon and – most importantly of all – delicious. Launched around 2013, student volunteers and interns have worked on the garden and shared the harvest across Keele.

Students lead on the two allotment beds closest to the Walled Garden gate, and lead on weekly gardening sessions.

No prior experience is needed. This is a great opportunity if you want to learn about growing your own food, eating healthily, or just want to volunteer on campus.

Gardening is great for your health and wellbeing. We are looking for students to lead on the gardening sessions, could this be you?

To get involved, join our Sustainability Community and you can check out our Facebook group, talk to someone who is already taking part, or join us in our weekly gardening sessions taking place (please check on the Keele App for when the gardening sessions are taking place).
