The University of Louisville’s Garden Commons hosted a workshop for locals and students with a focus on starting seeds early and sustainable gardening. A majority of U of L students only have access to on-campus options when it comes to food, which can be less than healthy or fresh.
Bethany Pratt, an agent of the Jefferson County Cooperative Extension, promotes education on gardening practices for all types of people in all areas.
Pratt discussed problems people within city limits might face.
“In an urban landscape, I feel like we have more of an issue with food insecurity than in a rural area,” Pratt said.
