SAMANTHA/SAM2’S GARDEN
PROFILE
I want to work at the garden because: I love gardening, and I love exploring new things.
Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:
1. To plant as much vegetables and flowers as I can.
2. And to not kill any of my plants.
Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:
1. How to grow vegetables, because I have never grown any.
2. How to keep my plants alive.
I think my biggest challenge will be: digging the trenches for the seeds
My favorite vegetable or fruit is: my favorite fruit is strawberries
I hope to contribute this to the garden this year:
By, helping out and getting what I need to do done. And to ask questions if I need to, taking care of my garden.

GARDEN PROJECTS
What I did for my project was, taking photos of my garden rows. I'm going to put them on a Google docs and type out what's a good thing about them. I'm gonna write down the names of each of the rows and then I'll email it to Claire to post on Instagram and wherever else it needs to be posted on. I would put the pictures but the website won't let me put pictures. So I'll just email it to Claire once I'm done with the project.
