Community Gardening
Making sure the students were introduced to more ways of contributing to their community that were positive, sustainable and inclusive was very important to us. Creating a community garden was one of the many things we wanted our students to experience. All 22 of the students voted on which seeds they wanted to plant and over the last 5 weeks of camp we watched their little seedlings sprout. They grew carrots, watermelon, pumpkins, peas and garden beans. The students were asked:
- Why do you think it is important to have community gardens in an urban area?
- If you could pant your own community garden what would you plant in it?
