A ceremonial turning of the soil for two new courses that will teach students who plant food and flowers on City Farm, the first curriculum-based urban farm at City College, will occur at noon Sept. 13 between Lillard Hall and the staff parking lot.

Plant biology and early childhood education will utilize City Farm as an extension of their classroom activities, said Robin Waxman, professor of graphic communications and one of the organizers of the project.

“There’s a plan set up so that when classes want to use City Farm, they would go through an application process and adopt a plot for a semester or two semesters,” Waxman said. “It depends on how long they want it. The city farm advisory group helps to facilitate that relationship with the land.”

City Farm is deemed a pilot project, according Waxman. It is not a part of the permanent infrastructure of the campus.

City Farm sits on 200 square feet of land. At the end of the year, progress for the project will be reviewed and the school will decide if the project remains a pilot project.

“It’s certainly sustainable as long as there’s interest and reason to do it,” said Dean of Science and Allied Health Jim Collins. “It’s dependent on somebody from the college taking responsibility for it. There are obviously opportunities for volunteer work out there. Someone has to administer the project from the college’s perspective.
