Enjoy gardening? Well, City College has an opportunity for you. On April 9, at noon the City Farm club had its first harvest of the semester. Located between Lillard Hall and parking lot F between Sutterville Road, the experimental garden has been growing various vegetables since 2011.
City Farm club adviser Robyn Waxman says that the best time to harvest a plant depends on the weather and advised the club members that harvesting should be done either in the early morning or at night.
After cultivating seeds for past semester, the City Farm club members pulled out green and red lettuce, mint and cilantro. With these veggies, the City Farm club members and guests made a “zero carbon footprint” salad to eat.
City Farm is growing cucumbers, strawberries, lettuce, cilantro, radishes, and now corn.
“[The plants we choose] depend on the plant and the season, on how long the plants grow,” says Lauren-Paisley Rose, the president of the City Farm club.
City Farm club adviser and City College graphic communication professor Robyn Waxman says that the best time to harvest a plant depends on the weather and advised the club members that harvesting should be done either in the early morning or at night.

“When it comes to planting you have to make the hole three times as big as the seed that is being planted,” says Waxman explaining to the club members how to plant seeds.
Currently the farm is made up of four redwood-raised beds sticking out beside the parking lot.
“We’ve been trying hard to get a bigger plot than the three we got, but the school wouldn’t give us one,” Paisley-Rose says.
