3. Brief Details Urban farming allows people to grow their own fruit or vegetables in an urban environment like Eugene. In addition to the many residents growing food in their own gardens, Eugene contains a large amount of public gardens that allows residents to reserve plots to grow food. The University of Oregon also maintains an urban garden. There is a class associated with the garden that allows students to grow their own food.

4. Possible Content There are many people who help run the community gardens and the University of Oregon gardens that would most likely be willing to talk about the benefits of urban farming. All the gardens are very accessible and would allow a good spot to work in. Because of the amount of people associated with running the gardens there should be enough content for the assignments.
