My name is Colten Nichols and I am a student at the University of Arkansas studying Crop Science and Biology. This spring, the University's Department of Horticulture is sponsoring an opportunity to travel to the United Kingdom to learn about sustainable and community garden systems.

I am raising funds to pay for the enrollment, living, and travel costs to attend this educational experience.

I am passionate about sustainable agriculture and community garden systems, as I believe they are vital aspects of ensuring food security on a local and national level. This opportunity to learn more about these systems (from some of the oldest community garden systems in the world) would be invaluable.
