Abstract

This internship with Alerta Verde, an organization dedicated to establishing gardens in personal homes and communal spaces, involved a full-time, 9-to-5 commitment over two months. It provided an opportunity for in-depth community engagement and collaboration with my team. For my SIP, I conducted surveys to assess local needs related to gardening and food access. Alerta Verde was receptive to my ideas and collaborated on my data collection process which yielded meaningful feedback from community members. This collaboration shaped our approach to garden setups and educational outreach within the community as well. The experience significantly enhanced my gardening skills, communication abilities, and understanding of sustainable practices.
