BEDA 6
Speaking of volunteering, for the past two years I've been involved in working with my GirlScout troop to take care of a community garden that we started. Last year we wanted to start something for our community that could make it a happier and prettier place while also giving back. So we made a vegetable garden.
This is part of my troop. Since we made such a change to the community that our troop made the paper! This was one of the photos in it.
So once a week or so during the summer I go with my neighbor to the garden and we water it and tie the tomato plants.
Gardening is so much more fun when you do it with someone and for some many other people.
The harvests that come from our garden go to Center for Food Action. Which means they get donated to the less fortunate in our town. It's brilliant seeing people pick and take how many boxes of tomatoes they want or how many handfuls string beans they want.
Since last year the community garden has expanded. Now people from all over town have a small rectangle of land to plant their own pumpkins, tomatoes, sunflowers, etc.. if their yards had too much shade or whatever their complications were.
It's beautiful.
The End.
