Nestled between Harder Stadium and the busy streets lies the UCSB Community Garden, a vibrant patch of land dedicated to sustainable food growth. With its rich history and dedicated members, the garden serves as a refuge for students, librarians, and community members alike.

About Jill Johnson
Jill spent her youth in New Hampshire, Florida and California. As an adult, she finally decided to stay put in the Golden State, and Santa Barbara in particular. Her interest in food was inspired by her culinary competitive parents and the various foods sampled throughout the family travels across the nation.
She has owned a cookie company, worked at a local newspaper, went to Art School, surfed horses off of Coal Oil Point and baked cookies for Chuck Williams. Her passions include collecting regional cookbooks, watching the ponies race at Del Mar and Santa Anita, volunteering in the community, hugging trees and swilling soy lattes.
