Dr. Jose Barbosa, loading up produce.<\/p><\/div>\n

This year, students in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) have been able to get their hands dirty while putting down roots in the community – literally!<\/span><\/p>\n

The UTC Teaching & Learning Garden began this past spring, taking students out to learn about raising food in an urban environment. In total this year, the Garden was able to raise 2100 pounds of produce that was donated to the Chattanooga Community Kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that’s pesticide free during an extremely difficult summer without rain. The students are learning more than they could have imagined. More than any of us could’ve imagined,\u201d said Dr. <\/span>Joe Wilferth<\/span><\/a>, UC Foundation Professor and Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last harvest of the year, approximately 400 pounds of produce, was delivered to the Community Kitchen in time for Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey had quite a Thanksgiving feast!\u201d Wilferth said.<\/span><\/p>\n

UTC student Chloe Dente<\/p><\/div>\n

The Teaching & Learning Garden is more than just a community garden, however. The Garden is a hands on learning space that addresses topics that UTC students care about, like sustainability, gardening, local food economies, health and food production<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. <\/span>Jose Barbosa<\/span><\/a>, Associate Professor of Biology, Geology, and Environmental Science in the College of Arts and Sciences, is the primary faculty sponsor for the project, providing oversight and planning of the space. Most of the students who worked in the garden were earning class credit in Barbosa\u2019s Urban Gardening classes. However, students not in Barbosa\u2019s class also volunteered.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe garden is open for academic use to faculty and students all across CAS. In the future, faculty are invited to approach Dr. Barbosa or me if they wish to integrate the garden into their coursework,\u201d said Wilferth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilferth looks forward to the opportunities for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work both within CAS and across the campus that the Teaching & Learning Garden provides. Approximately 125 students in Art, Biology, English, Environmental Science, Political Science, and Sociology all participated in the project since spring. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe garden may be used by specific courses across the CAS as it exemplifies experiential and hands-on learning. It could be expanded in the future to include courses and experiential learning opportunities in other colleges on our campus\u2014e.g., courses in other colleges that focus on food production, nutrition, health and wellness, environmental literature, as well as the sociopolitical and socioeconomic factors involved in food production and food quality,\u201d Wilferth said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A bountiful harvest from the Teaching & Learning Garden<\/p><\/div>\n

The Garden is located behind the outfield wall of Engel Stadium, just around the corner from the Value Lot. This past March, the folks in Facilities donated their time and resources to clearing the land, which wasn\u2019t previously in use, for the Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an ideal space because of its proximity to campus. The shuttle service can take students to and from the garden. Class meetings wherein students visit\/work in the garden will not require additional time, nor will the students’ academic schedules be interrupted,\u201d Wilferth said.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, all of the produce to come out of the Garden went to the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, but in future years some of the food may also end up in students\u2019 stomachs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the future, we are considering ways to have something like a farmers market on campus where the proceeds might go to support student travel and undergraduate and graduate student research,\u201d explained Wilferth.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chattanooga Community Kitchen would still receive at least a third of the harvest.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Environmental Task Force, which oversees the “Green Fee\u201d funds, supported half of the garden\u2019s costs this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis first year, of course, was the most expensive year simply because we had to get the garden going. We had to purchase tools, a storage facility, and more,\u201d said Wilferth. \u201cOther offices around campuses committed funds, too. Significant support came from both the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity and from the Vice Chancellor for Research and Dean of the Graduate School. In the end, this is a relatively cheap project that has potential for a big impact. We\u2019re doing something exciting here. We\u2019re literally growing!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
