Washington College Wants Your Halloween Pumpkins

Washington College’s campus garden is asking community members to donate their unwanted pumpkins post-Halloween. Instead of sending pumpkins to the landfill, the college’s campus garden is collecting them to be salvaged for food. Ripe pumpkins are a great source of vitamins and nutrients and can be used in a variety of recipes, fed to the campus garden’s chickens and pumpkins can be composted to create a nutrient-rich soil that benefits the garden’s plants.
