Anandarajan et al. described the varying levels of cyberloafing- those considered recreational and those considered deviant. This study focused on the lower tier of …

Often, community gardens are started by nonprofit organizations looking to solve problems that plague urban areas. An abundance of literature described and analyzed the role of community gardens in addressing food insecurities, but little has been done in understanding the experiences of participants in the garden. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to gather and identify the perceptions and thoughts of community …
