(DALLAS) — A new, 40-bed organic garden at Mountain View College — its Slow Food Community Garden — will be an oasis in a food desert, serving as a place where area residents, the college’s students and its employees can plant their own food and cultivate learning at the same time.
Mountain View College hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to launch the new Slow Food Community Garden. It is the first component of “Living Labs” at Mountain View College and will serve as “an outdoor learning space, a neighborhood teaching opportunity and a place for students to gain hands-on experience in multiple disciplines,” said Lori De La Cruz, Mountain View’s sustainability coordinator. The college is located at 4849 W. Illinois Ave. in Dallas.
