The students learn how to plant seeds, care for seedlings, transplant plants, harvest vegetables, and make worm tea and compost to help plants grow. They plant vegetables in the garden and flower pots. As the plants grow, the students see how providing soil, water, fertilizer, and other care helps the plants thrive. They are able to harvest vegetables and learn healthy eating. The experience in the garden inspires the students and helps the community.

13. Many people live in U.S without resources to eat healthy and buy
vegetables. They work hard to live better.
U.S should help people who can do to eat more healthy by making
garden for them. They could be an asset to beginning to plant
healthy food in the U.S.
Every one deserve to live a dream, live happily, and be what they
want to be. Students who learn how to garden create a path way
to others generation to live a healthy life.
We should try to understand our population. Every year education
is lower because the difficult conditions of economy. Through the
garden we can help U.S economy.
The garden motivates student to care about themselves and the
community. It inspires students to live healthy and make U.S a
better country.
Working in the garden with the students could be an asset to the
US education.
