So on Wednesday we went Brockwell park where we saw the community garden. The community garden needs to be explained. As I understand it the garden is somewhere you come to work in the garden but the food is not for you but for local events and charities. I thought it was a really neat idea. After the garden we went to Christchurch. The students were great we went out to their "Secret Garden". It was hidden gem and I realize why it got it's name. The garden is tucked away in the apartment complex in between some buildings. The kids were great, they presented to us and then took us out to the garden to work on their garden. They had their projects and they got to tell us what to do.
Thursday we went to Phoenix where we toured their farm. What a beautiful set up. The gardens there help multiple students from the oldest to the youngest and also contributes to the community. Community members come in and help maintain the garden. The kids were older so they were talking with us and it was great. They were telling us about their lives and what they were planning to do. Two of the four kids we met went and walked around with us to the community gardens. It was a great time.
