This past Sunday The Beacon stopped by SMCC’s community garden (behind the Culinary Arts building on the South Portland campus) to catch up with Sodexo employees and SMCC students and see how the Earth Day garden cleanup was progressing.

Rachel Fisk, who is the Sodexo unit marketing coordinator here at SMCC, was kind enough to answer a few questions about the garden plots and how they are being used. This summer will be the second year that Sodexo has helped to maintain the plots and build some energy and interest around the garden.

Fisk mentioned a photo contest in which Sodexo will submit a photo from this weekend’s cleanup to the SMCC Sodexo Facebook page. The more Likes the photo gets, the better chance it has to win. The winning prize is as healthy $3,000 purse that will be donated to The Captain’s Cupboard here on campus.
