Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2018.

My research focuses on activism, aesthetics, sustainability and worldview through the cultural practices employed and exhibited in urban, vernacular, collaborative community gardens dedicated to organic gardening practices, indigenous vegetation, and to providing shelter for wildlife in Bloomington, Indiana. In a time of a multiplicity of environmental crises, grassroots efforts towards sustainability are resulting in new practices and new aesthetics. My research project documented and theorized about these changing practices and aesthetics in Bloomington, Indiana, one of a small set of cities in the United States of America to have achieved official Habitat City status, as well as Transition Town designation. Bloomington is the home of a nationally unique community orchard and of the innovative Green Acres Neighborhood Garden. This research project draws comparisons and contrasts between the Bloomington Community Orchard and the Green Acres Neighborhood Garden, showing strategies and aesthetics which are being co-created by the visionaries and volunteers behind these projects. This analysis is set against the backdrop of a variety of collaborative community gardens that have been created in Bloomington. My research and project is rooted in the theoretical framework of vernacular architecture studies and landscape studies. It also draws from museum studies and research on folkloric cultural practices expressed through environmental activism and the study of vernacular gardens, and the ways in which individuals and groups create a sense of place and meaning in specific locations. In addition, my project highlights key community leaders whose environmental and community activism is expressed through their gardens, and who, in turn, are influencing policy and practices in this influential Midwestern city.
