Help the UCR R'Garden Grow!
Since 2012, UCR's R'Garden has been a living classroom and a source of fresh produce for students, staff, and local families - nurturing both our community and our planet. In spring 2025, a student fee referendum to support R'Garden did not pass. Although the Office of the Provost and the College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences provided temporary funding to keep it running through 2025-26, operations remain limited. With your contribution, R'Garden can continue to provide fresh produce, support the R'Pantry, and educate future leaders in sustainability and food equity.

Join us in keeping the R'Garden thriving by donating to their fundraising campaign linked below.
