garden

Armed with shovels and environmental initiative, eco-friendly students gathered outside of Pupin Friday afternoon for the groundbreaking of Columbia’s new community garden. The project aims to raise student awareness about sustainability, agriculture, and food-related issues.

“I thought you’d be in jail by now,” Don Colflesh said laughingly to Barbara Hohol, his neighbor. Hohol has had several run-ins with the police due to her fixation with the local community garden on West 111th Street.
