On Earth Day this year, the sun was shining, Aggies were filling salad bowls and faculty member Odile Huchette was admiring a raised bed of kale and arugula that was ready to be picked and eaten.

“Look at it! Is it not pretty?” said Huchette, a horticulture lecturer. “It’s beautiful and very healthy.”

Earth Day – the annual celebration of the environment – was April 22, and students from the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Design commemorated the occasion by sharing what they had learned and grown.

“I just like to get the students to talk about nature, about sustainability, about food,” said Huchette, who serves as director of the Reid Greenhouse on campus and as coordinator of the Student and Community Farm at the N.C. A&T University Farm on McConnell Road.
