Mapping and Fixing - Tuesday, July 14th, 2020
This Tuesday, we went to a variety of different gardens to record data that could be beneficial in the future. Such as checking the condition of the garden beds and recording data of the surrounding area. We also got rid of all the garbage we found along the way. Through all of our efforts we made each garden look better than when we arrived. We also went to We Got This where we continued to work on the greenhouse, and repainted some old benches. When we were done, they looked brand new!

Rainy Office Day - Wednesday, July 15th, 2020
For Wednesday we went to our office because we had a rainy day! We began the day by learning about black history, philosophy, and modern day conceptions of racism. Afterwards we decided to split up into two teams. One team worked on building benches. The other focused on painting those benches and little lending libraries. During our break, we had fun by playing a quick game of musical chairs. The victor of the match was Jaylah!
Restoring Grow and Play - Thursday, July 16th, 2020
On Thursday, we went to Grow and Play where we continued our mission of restoring this precious garden. We started by repairing some of the garden beds, adding new wooden boards where they were needed. We also removed the few remaining weeds in the garden beds so they could be used later. After all this was done and our job was finished, we decided to have a friendly basketball match while waiting for our rides to pick us up.
