For typical college students, an opportunity to garden in dorm rooms or apartments may seem implausible. Garden in a Tight Spot, an event yesterday organized by TCU Wesley Foundation and Community Renewal at TCU, showed students that this was not necessarily true.

.

Garden in a Tight Spot provided students with resources to learn more about indoor gardening, junior ballet major and Community Renewal student intern Jenn Shinn said.

.

Shinn, who helped organize the event, said Garden in a Tight Spot brought together students who shared a passion for gardening and even those students who were attempting it for the first time.

.

Gardening would be a way to encourage students to work together and form community on campus, Shinn said.

.

Its basically a vessel to get people to do things together, she said.

.

Sophomore psychology major Amy Fowler agreed with Shinn.

.

Its amazing, planting something and seeing it grow, Fowler said. It helps build the community.

Navarro said students would be able to gain a sense of accomplishment from gardening their own food.

.

Growing your own food is kind of a new trend that people are really trying to get into as a way of connecting to their food, Navarro said. A lot of people dont know where their food comes from, how intensive and rewarding it is when you grow your own tomato for the first time. Its probably the most delicious tomato youll ever eat.

.

Megan Davidson, director of the Wesley Foundation, said the event raised awareness on sustainability by showing students the importance of knowing where their food comes from.
