The garden has brought together students and collaborators from the School of Public Health, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department of Facilities Management, the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture, the Institute of Applied Agriculture at Maryland, University of Maryland Dining Services and the University of Maryland Office of Sustainability.
Garden members are holding a meeting on March 7 at 3 p.m. in the MIEAH/EPI Conference Room in the SPH building to discuss garden updates, generate new ideas, and share successes and challenges. Anyone who is interested in getting involved with the garden is welcome to attend the meeting. To learn more, visit the garden's blog here.

ReplyDeleteIt is healthier to have options like preparing your own healthy snack in order for you to track the calories you are taking. In this way it is much healthier.
ReplyDeleteGreat program - our Country has lost it's gardening/farming abilities and this threatens sustainability and independence as most of us rely on corporations for our food. Too much reliance on others creates a liability. Educating people how to grow and eat healthy foods is truly "teaching a person how to fish" as opposed to handing out fish. Great Job!
