Tuesday, July 6th, we worked at Hilltop Community Garden. We started off identifying every plant in each garden bed. We then picked mint and chives. Since it was too hot, later on that day we went to the office and spent the rest of the day there. At the office we worked on edging and painting our benches.

Wednesday, July 7th, we were located at the office. We started off talking about nutrients, healthy and unhealthy fats, fiber, protein, and whole grains. Then, we got more active and prepared and cooked. We made two healthy recipes which were chicken fajita and peanut chicken skewers. The recipes included elements of the different healthy food groups that we had learned about in the beginning of the day.

Thursday, July 8th we were at the Thurston Woods Community Garden. We started off filling each bed with soil, and one group flipped soil. We then walked to the New Beginnings are Possible Community center, and Kimberly told us about the center. Afterwards, we went back to the garden to play charades. Todd and Jacelia broke down a shed. We also made a wood chip trail between garden beds!
