NOVA NSU -Intern
The Fruitful Field was fortunate to have a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist graduate student from the Department of Nutrition at Nova Southeastern University. Camilla Mirkin worked with our Grow City Youth interns, GardenShare members, volunteers, and others who frequent The Fruitful Field. Her help with our Tea in the Garden fund-raising event was invaluable. She wrote and designed a guide that provides information about some of the foods grown at The Fruitful Field.
