The community garden is a vibrant space that fosters a sense of community and promotes sustainable practices. It provides a platform for students to connect with nature, learn about gardening, and grow their own food. It also serves as a valuable resource for the campus community, offering fresh produce to those in need.

This combination of plants creates a vibrant and diverse ecosystem within the garden. This diverse ecosystem provides numerous benefits to the garden, including increased biodiversity, improved pollination, and enhanced pest control. The presence of different plant species creates a complex and interconnected web of relationships, fostering a thriving ecosystem. This interconnectedness is crucial for the health and longevity of the garden.

Nwachukwu also discussed increasing educational outreach and using the garden as a classroom to educate people about sustainable practices and how they can implement sustainability in their everyday lives. “[People] don’t necessarily have to have a plot in the garden, if they want to have a space in their home, or they can do something that contributes to environmental sustainability, like composting, just being aware of how our everyday lives affect the environment,” she said. This past weekend, a writing and rhetoric class visited the garden and helped garden members with weeding. Wilson said she was encouraged to see undergraduate students visiting the garden and wants to make the space more accessible for different groups.

Wilson said she wants to see the garden’s impact on campus continue to grow and part of that growth includes leadership and involvement from faculty and staff, as well as graduate students and undergraduate students. ”I would also love to see the space grow,” she said, ”to have undergrads involved, to have more events and to continue to be a community garden.”
