MARLEE’S GARDEN

PROFILE

I want to work at the garden because: I like gardening and I also wanted to meet and work with new people.

Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:

  1. Finding other ways to improve my gardening skills.

  2. Improving my social skills through the team gardening.

Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:

  1. What plants work best or struggle growing close to each other.

  2. Learning more about what plants I enjoy gardening.

I think my biggest challenge will be: weeding around the crops and vegetables, especially the squashes and beans.

My favorite vegetable or fruit is: My favorite vegetable is carrots.

I hope to contribute this to the garden this year: hard work, creative solutions, and a welcoming environment.
