Abstrakt: As part of their professional training, dietetics students participate in a community-based gardening initiative that fosters skills for effective public health practice. Students complete a 6-week training course in basic gardening and applied skills with Master Gardeners to build on new knowledge and reinforce their practical experience while working in a community garden. Following training, students outreach as educators to local community agencies and learn how to integrate applications in nutrition and dietetics with gardening as a community-building strategy for enhancing food security and sustaining communities.
