    I enjoyed this post about the Sugarhouse Community Garden, mostly because these community gardens are a new idea to me. Before this class, I had never heard of them or considered their purpose or importance. It's been interesting to me as a student in Comm 3030 to see how this pertains to food justice. I loved the video component included in this post, mainly because it makes the reader feel as if they are there and can get a feel of the garden's surroundings. I think it would have been great to include an interview with a community garden worker/volunteer/participant, who can give a short explanation of why the garden is important to Sugarhouse and the surrounding community.
