ALEX’S GARDEN
PROFILE
I want to work at the garden because:
I want to learn more about plants, and serve the community.
Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:
1. To further my gardening knowledge and skills
2. To try new recipes and practice my cooking skills
Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:
1. How to plant new things
2. Why certain plants do not grow well, or fail
I think my biggest challenge will be: Managing weeds
My favorite vegetable or fruit is: I love apples!
I hope to contribute this to the garden this year:
I hope to contribute to creating a positive environment for all, and work hard to manage my produce.
