3 April 2012 ~ Community Garden

The community garden project will be something quite interesting and new to me; I have never gardened or farmed in my life. Furthermore, after learning that my group's plot will be designated for young teenage girls, there is an added purpose to completing the activity. Teenage girls are known to be going through accelerating changes each year they get older (as do boys). My group has decided to choose the specific nutritional needs and common deficiencies in iron and calcium, and also nutrients which may help with their womanly cycles. We have brainstormed and thought of planting crops such as tomatoes, strawberries, mint, garlic, dandelions, and spinach. Further delving into the nature of farming will let us know whether or not they can actually be grown this time of year!
