I want to work at the garden because: I want to learn more about other plants and work with new people and friends.
Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:
1. learn some new amazing planting things.
2. getting to know new people
Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:
1. New and cools way to plant different things
2.what plants go good planted together
