Join us for a conversation about
Building Community through Community Gardens
Wednesday, April 15 || Noon-1:00 p.m.
J.C. Penney Conference Center, Room 126 || FREE parking in Lot C.
(See North Campus map)

Spring is here, and with the change in weather there are opportunities to bring together neighbors through gardening. Hundreds of community gardens, located in neighborhoods throughout the St. Louis region, will be worked on this spring. How can community gardens build stronger communities? What is the impact that community gardens can have on the sustainability of the surrounding neighborhoods?

Join us for a conversation with Danielle Kusner from Gateway Greening and Amber Dover from Seeds of Change, a community garden located in the Benton Park West neighborhood, to learn about the goals, the latest trends, and the impact community gardens can have on the quality of life for surrounding neighborhoods. Dr. Mark Tranel, director of UMSL's Public Policy Research Center, who has conducted research on the impact of community gardens, will lead the discussion.
