 The Edible Churchyard is Union Theological Seminary’s response to one of the central ecological and economic justice issues of our time. The basic idea is simple: re-imagine churchyards and rooftops as gardens to revitalize communities, reclaim food-based knowledge, and nourish the land and our bodies. The Edible Churchyard connects present day environmental justice concerns with Union’s rich history pioneering and nurturing community justice efforts and leadership development.
