    volunteering
    I volunteered at a community garden for two years during the summer and spring. I worked with a woman named Monique who taught me how to plant, weed, harvest, and upkeep the garden of vegetables and flowers. I helped with the compost bins as well. We planted hundreds of onions, garlic, pumpkins, flowers, some berries.

    At the summer camp, i led an ecology program with the 10-12 year old kids, and we spent a lot of time volunteering in the camp garden. We helped to grow and harvest peas, carrots, sunflowers, and cabbage.
