“Seeds for a Caring Society” began with a mission to inspire university students to venture out and create community gardens. The UWI Planters for Social Change, a student-activist group based at the St Augustine Campus, and students of the Social Policy and Administration III class, started ‘My Green Thumb,’ a project which trains participants in the creation and maintenance of community parks through the Master Home Garden Training Course. To date, the group has created the Trinity Hall Food Park, which serves as a template for the sustainability of domestic agricultural production. The course is expected to lead to the development of food parks at the San Juan Girls’ Primary School, the Cyril Ross Children’s Home and The Unemployment Relief Programme site in Mt Hope.
