As the semester wraps up and my time as the Waste Reduction Coordinator at Sustainable Campus (SC) comes to a close, I wish to share my final parting thoughts and reminisce about the time I’ve spent in this position.

Hi all! Chris Watkins here, one of the Fall 2024 Sustainability Fellows. For the past five years I have been working toward my PhD in Poetry with a focus in Ecopoetics, Ecocriticism, and Gender Studies while working on my poetry collection The Drag Gospel of Queer Jesus, forthcoming with Saturnalia Books. Last fall, I had the pleasure of working with FSU Sustainable Campus facilitating a series of environmental writing workshops each of which focused on a different genre of environmental writing (nonfiction, fiction, and poetry).

As my time with Sustainable Campus and the Seminole Organic Garden comes to an end, I want to share my reflection on the past several years I’ve spent in the garden. 

In 2021, I had the pleasure of being introduced to the garden through my best friend and former garden coordinator, Kate Lovett. If not for her, I would not have been given the chance to learn, grow, and inspire others in the space for years to come.
