Over the course of one season and a few weeks, I feel like both my knowledge and experience about gardening has grown. Although from the start I had a basic feel of what gardening was, I noticed that as the weeks passed by, I was in a completely new and unfamiliar territory and I really enjoyed it. I got to channel my concentration and effort towards maintaining, growing and enjoying the greenery. Activities such as composting, planting new seeds and providing healthy beds really showed me the strength, beauty and excellence of nature. It was a joy watching how the okra that my friends and I planted grew in such a small span of time. I somewhat felt proud picking the large long okra vegetable from the stem. I feel that this is one of the most rewarding services the school has to offer and I feel like many more people should be able to experience what it’s like to be in Incredible Edible.
