Last spring the student body voted on SGA Prove-It grant funding for a campus improvement project. 70% voted for a community garden on campus. The garden is currently being built by student volunteers along with a broad network of staff and faculty advisers and mentors.
A view of the raised beds and seedlings at the new community garden, located next to the police station was recently posted to The Garden's facebook page.
UMBC BreakingGround and In The Loop featured the project in a recent video interview (below) with former UMBC sustainability intern, one of the student leaders behind The Garden, Jack Neumeier.

The video series includes more inspiring stories from #UMBC change agents: prof. Jill Wrigley, grad peaceworker Charlotte Keniston, as well as undergraduate INDS student, Jack Neumeier. They have launched initiatives that serve as a catalysts for empowerment, wellness, justice and sustainability! I'm so glad to have folks like this contributing to our campus/city/planet.
