On Thursday, February 15, we took a trip to UGArden. This this trip got me onto the last bus route I needed to have taken a trip on all of the university’s bus routes (Riverbend South Milledge). As soon as I arrived, I was taken aback by just how different things look only two or three miles outside the city. It reminded me a lot of Americus, the city in southern Georgia where I grew up. So that’s really what I saw in the picture below:
Having grown up surrounded by farmland, seeing something like this reminded me just how much the state of Georgia depends on agriculture.
I was immediately curious where the produce from UGArden goes, and was glad to hear that it gets given for charitable purposes. And after hearing Professor Berle talk about composting, it made me feel reinvigorated about protecting the environment.
Thanks for your post, Sahir.
Congratulations on completing the bus routes!
The feeling of reinvigoration for protecting the environment you described, I would be interested to hear more on this. How might we share that feeling/experience with UGA as a whole? Or even Athens?
