A Meeting in the Garden
University of Montevallo Coursework MC 200 Written: Monday, October 5, 2015 By: Keyanna James
A Meeting in the Garden
Today we meet with Holley Wadley in the University of Montevallo Environmental Club Community Garden. The garden is located between the baseball field and the University Lake. Here we learned about Ms. Wadley and the garden.
Holley Wadley is a graduate of the University of Montevallo. She began her work in the garden in 2009 when she was still a student here. Due to her efforts she was given a part time position here. Wadley has been gardening with her grandparents for as long as she can remember.
The garden was started by students for the purpose of donating food to the Shelby Emergency Assistance for the needy. Last year 1595 pounds of crops was donated. This year 1305 pounds have been donated and the goal is to pass last year.
Plots in the garden are available for rent to students and the community for a low fee of $10 or $5 with five hours of volunteer service in the garden. There are about 25 plots and at this time about 6 of those plats are rented.
The garden remains organic by the use on non-gmo (genetically modified organisms) seeds and organic fertilizer. There is often an organic plant sale and from it is where the plot holders receive their seeds and plants. The garden is watered with water from the creek which is pumped by a marine battery powered by a solar panel.
When asked with crops are popular, Wadley stated that peas and okra are most popular for the spring and greens, of all types, are popular for the winter. Wadley also stated that the hardest crop to grow is tomatoes and the easiest is okra.
Wadley was asked where most of her help and support comes from and few classes and faculty members to speak highly of. Wadley stated that Dr. Wicknick, Dr. Sterner and Collen Williams are big helps as well as the Summer Harvest class. Wadley also stated that biology and sociology are the most common majors of the students who utilize the garden.
The garden is currently going through some expansion. Currently an edible forest is in the works. The forest will contain plants and fruit trees that are edible by both humans and animals. There will be a trail that, as walked, will revel signs that advise of what each plant or fruit tree produces.
After a tour of the garden where we viewed the crops being grown as well and the results of the used plots. We were addressed by Dr. Susan Caplow who expressed with us how important the garden is the Environmental Studies Program and what the program is about.
Caplow explained the Environment Studies Program is an interdisciplinary Minor. This means that students take course all over campus in various colleges and use the different disciples to discover and address the issues of society and the world as well as form a large tool kit to solve these issues. Caplow has high hopes for the Environment Studies Program to develop into a major. Her goal is to produce well rounded, engaged citizens.
The garden is an important part of the Environmental Studies Program because it allows students to connect with the earth, learn to grow and how it applies to them individually.
