Community gardening

Strolling around Columbia State Community College’s Campus, one can observe Zinnia gardens full of honey bees,wasps and ants, recycling bins, and non-smoking signs. While these environmental changes are impressive, the college can do better when it comes to setting a positive example for its students and the community. Imagine a community garden at CSCC that displays natural beauty while also demonstrating the school’s commitment to improving the environment. Such a garden would be a learning laboratory for students while serving as a benchmark for other community initiatives. Because the garden would consist of vegetables and herbs, it would serve as a food source and, therefore, present students with the opportunity to to be part of the…

it is called a community garden. A community meaning people living in the same place or having a characteristic in common.

Such a project would have an enormous positive impact on the school community, specifically by increasing the on-campus distribution of organic fruits and vegetables to those college students suffering from deficient nutrition in their diets. Increasing the number of gardens and total farm acreage over time would significantly reduce the amount of fresh produce needed for all students to become food secure, resulting in better student health and superior academic achievement. The gardens would…

Stone from Grow a Community, found “our beautiful garden has even spawned spin-off efforts, such as a weekly community meal, garden classes, new home gardens, and a program in which interested folks can give or take excess produce” (2016).

Gardens in Colleges Man-kind creates such reminiscing beauty beyond garden gates. For this purpose schools should teach students to create their own gardens or to participate in one improving the environment. Gardening isn’t the most popular hobby, but it’s crucially beneficial.

In The Ways of Her Household, Ulrich talks about how women’s work in the 1700’s weren’t tangible like men’s work, but were distinctly important in order to keep the community and the family thriving. This theme is shown throughout Midwife’s Tale by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. Martha Ballard’s diary shines a light on the everyday task of women in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. Martha is simultaneously a “physician, nurse, midwife, mortician, pharmacist, and attentive wife.” Many people would have…

A garden in Bradford County should be started. Currently, there are nearby gardens, one at the…

While social work as a profession has moved away from macro work in recent decades, there still exists a need for this important work. Working with social…
