Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

My Environmental Studies Capstone experience has been through service learning at the Pacific Union Garden Project. Through this service learning I have partnered with a variety of elementary aged children and teachers to incorporate environmental education in a garden setting. The use of rainwater catchment systems, compost and worm bins have been used to educate children on the importance of water, soils, and the regenerative cycle of life. This project will show how children interact and gain skills in a garden and why school gardens are important to children's education as a starting point for environmental education inspiration.
