What is a 社区花园?
A community garden is a single plot of land, usually in an urban area, where people gather together to grow fresh vegetables and flowers. It can provide educational opportunities, promote good health through physical activity, 缓解压力, a connection to nature, and bring people together through the community.
花园工作日
Student volunteers participate on workdays to enhance the community garden. Emphasis will be placed on increasing the growing capacity and variety of edible produce grown in the garden as well as improving existing infrastructure to improve the utilization of the resources available.
Students that participate in the work days provide the work necessary to see the benefit of the food produced by this garden.
