City Sprout Collaboration
A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Students collaborate with City Sprouts, an organization dedicated to community gardening and education. Together, they invite fellow students to learn about City Sprouts' mission and its connection to sustainability. City Sprouts, known for its community garden and educational efforts, provides a rich environment for students to explore and understand the importance of sustainability in a real-world context. Some of the sustainability principles linked to community gardening include resource conservation, biodiversity promotion, waste reduction through composting, local food production, educational opportunities, community engagement, water management, chemical-free practices, the use of seasonal and indigenous plants, and long-term planning. Through this initiative, students become educators, sharing the significance of City Sprouts' mission and these sustainability principles with their peers, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship within the community.
