" “Sustainability and Urban Ecology are linked through the altruistic efforts of humans. As we shape a better community for others, we are developing a more biodiverse hearth for all organisms. The Millennium Fellowship will help drive this combined effort of social and ecological responsibility through creativity and collaboration at my university.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: JGHC Community Garden and Course
The JGHC Community Garden is a Non-profit organization founded in August 2021 and based in the Tampa Bay Area at the University of South Florida Tampa Campus. Our mission is to share the global experience of food sovereignty by implementing it here in our own backyard! We grow our own food and donate it to local food pantries while building a community of USF students and volunteers to learn about sustainable agriculture and healthy food. Our lessons are taught from seed to plate!
