Partnerships

American University (AU) is a federally chartered research university in Northwest Washington, D.C. and began working with CGC in 2022.

2022 Contributions

I worked with Cooperative Gardens Commission to improve their online resources. This included reviewing the 2022 Planner; updating the Gardening 101 page and the Quick Start Guide page; drafting, presenting, and developing the Gardening 201 page with its supplemental pages and resources; and creating the Partnerships page and Future Projects page.

I reviewed the CGC website and prepared it for accessibility for those with vision impairments utilizing e-readers and text to speech converters. I also applied my knowledge to CGC’s social media usage and gave practical suggestions for disabled gardening.

I created an amalgamation of STEM education resources for schoolhouse gardens to promote inclusive garden educational curriculum for CGC to use. I also helped update the Quickstart Guide web page of resources via Squarespace.
