Hi everyone!
My name is Saaidah Omar. I am 20 years old and currently study sustainable urban agriculture at LaGuardia. I have always had a passion for the environment, gardening, and being in nature- so naturally sustainable agriculture seemed to be the best choice for me. I have not yet decided what to do with my degree, but I love what I study and hope to find the right career as I dive further into the field. I definitely plan to transfer to a four year college after LaGuardia to broaden my horizons and introduce myself to new majors within the environmental science branch. Outside of school, I love reading- from philosophy, to poetry, to fiction novels. I love exploring new places from cities, to parks and forests, and trying new foods everywhere I go. I am not the most experienced chef, but I love to cook and try out new recipes every day.
I look forward to reading different texts, and getting to know each of my classmates this semester.
Here are some progress pictures of the garden I grew during a class at LaGuardia Spring 2024.

Hi Saaidah,
Thank you for sharing and best of luck to you! I too like gardening during my free time. I was a little disappointed this year summer started late and is ending early – temp wise.

Hi Saaidah, so nice to meet you! I have heard about the urban agriculture projects planned at LaGuardia. Have you been involved with any of these?
