Community Garden

This morning we had the opportunity to help out at a community garden, which provides fresh vegetables to the community.  In addition to the vegetables, the garden, which is actually a collection of different plots, also has honey bees and  a fish pond, which help provide money for the community garden project. One of the wonderful things about this project is that it not only provides food by growing it and giving it out, it also has a program to teach members of the community how to grow their own food . They provide the people with the tools that they need to grow their own vegetables.

I thoroughly enjoyed working at the garden because I knew that even though I was doing something that was fairly simple, pulling out weeds, it was a great help to the people of the community because with all of us working together we were able to accomplish a lot of work in just a few hours. By putting in just a little time and effort we were able to do something that was meaningful because with our work we infuenced a whole community, and all it took was a little time and effort.
