Community Gardens in Your Campus Community
While you may not realize it, community gardens play such an integral role in improving the issues that plague our urban communities. Not only do community gardens provide fresh, nutritious produce to urban areas, they also provide an abundance of environmental and economic benefits to their respective communities. Just a few benefits of community gardens include helping to improve the air/soil quality, reducing food miles that are needed to transport produce and helping to reduce neighborhood waste through composting.
