“It was an amazing experience to work closely with the environment in ways the classroom rarely allows.”

Praxis allowed me and other Smithies involved in sustainability to pursue our interests. During the summer of 2016, I worked in the Florence Community Garden, where I planted and harvested produce for a local church’s farm-to-table ministry services. It was an amazing experience to work closely with the environment in ways the classroom rarely allows. It also felt incredible to make meals out of entirely locally grown foods for people who needed them.
