Morven Summer Institute: wonderful interdisciplinary learning opportunity this summer in Charlottesville
The Morven Summer Institute is an intensive and unique four-week (May 16 - June 9, 2011) experience held on the grounds of UVa's historic Morven Farm. Designed for undergraduates with interests in sustainability, design, food systems, and ecology, this interdisciplinary program features courses in Architecture, Interdisciplinary Food Studies, and a one-credit seminar co-taught by a multidisciplinary team of faculty from across the University. Students will arrive at Morven in the morning (transportation is provided) and return to Grounds in the early afternoon. Like Study Abroad, but in Charlottesville, students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a distinctive learning environment for a novel environmental education. Alongside coursework, the Morven Kitchen Garden will be both a highlight and focus of the student experience at the Morven Summer Institute."

10.10.10 Unearth a Dream: Help restore the Historic Rock Hill Gardens, via 350.org
The property dates back to the late 1800s and has a rich historical evolution from a private home, to a ministry to one of the first private schools in the area born out of the desegregation movement. The magnificent eight acre stone-walled, terraced garden now surrounds what has become the Monticello Area Community Action Agency, known as MACAA, which houses outreach programs such as Headstart, Hope House, CARES and Project Discovery High School.
