Abstract
The purpose of this project is to use the GVSU Community Garden for agricultural studies, research, education, and outreach, which will help build enhanced opportunities for Grand Valley students, the campus community, and the greater Grand Rapids area to engage in gardening fieldwork. This project aims to be the beginning of an effort to bridge the gap between students and food systems by promoting GVSU as a new field site for agricultural education and production.
