It was gloomy day at Lakewood’s garden but that did not let
that stand in the way of our happiness to be back in the garden.
Besides the kids coming out at the end, my favorite part of
the morning was talking with my fellow peers and getting to know them better. I
feel lucky to be in a group that is so passionate about horticulture and enjoyed
the conversations that we were having. Along with discussing worldly views on
culture and religion, my peers expressed how they felt connected to the Edible
Peace Patch project through their various experiences.
We mainly focused on pulling sedges out the mulch walkways
which is really therapeutic as well as a time committing task. Luckily, I was
with a group that had interesting conversations, making the work go by fast.
I found a really cool mushroom with a black cap growing in
one of the beds which I thought deserved to be in our blog.
The children came out right before it was about to rain. We didn’t
get to do the assessment but we did get to give them a tour of the garden. The
students were very excited to get to taste the baby tomatoes!
I really appreciate having an enthusiastic group of students
and getting to work with motivated people who tell awesome stories.
