Senior Garden!

I was super excited to see the senior garden! I love gardens! So some of the questions I had prepared for the seniors were...

1. What happens in the summer?
2. Who has access to this garden?
3. What do the seniors do with the food?
4. Would you ever donate the food to people in need?

They answered...
1. Really not sure...
2. Everyone! (I'm guessing only the school)
3. Eat it in class. (I've seen the left over cole slaw and salads in John's guitar class)
4. There really isn't that much food to each, much less give away.

I really thought the garden was cool. I got to eat a little strawberry and one senior showed me some cilantro seeds that we could eat. There were so many colors and different types of plants. It was all so beautiful. I also answered some questions from the students in my class.

1. Was the garden what you expected?
2. What changes would you make to the garden?
3. Do you think the seniors actually care about the garden?
4. How well do you think they maintain the garden?

I answered...
1. Yes! I thought it was really beautiful and I wasn't totally perfect. It had its quirky imperfections which made it even cuter. Also I didn't expect much, so it was going to be hard for me to be let down.

2. I wouldn't change much. I would just add some beets and pumpkins and tomatoes.

3. Yeah its very obvious that most do. They seem excited about what they've grown and protective over the crops. Some don't really care though.

4. I do think the seniors maintain the garden very well. Its well irrigated and the plants look happy. :)
