The Judson College Garden Project was launched on Earth Day, April 22. The mission of the project is to grow a sustainable campus garden for the college community to enjoy.
According to George Frangoulis, Judson Garden coordinator, the garden also is open to everyone, including citizens of Marion.
The garden’s benefits will include providing access to fresh, affordable and locally grown produce, he said. It also will be a way to teach and empower students to grow a garden and make healthy and sustainable food choices.
Additionally the project is seen as a way to utilize the campus garden, a farm stand and educational programs to raise funds and enable both Judson students and Marion residents to learn about organic gardening while building a vibrant food system.
