MIRIAM AND KARINA'S EXPERIENCE AT THE GREENHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))

Last week we went to the greenhouse thats located in Kilbourn Park. We met Ms. Kirsten, who is in charge of the green house, and Lupe, who is one of the people that helps to take care of the garden. We also met Jessica and Sarah, two high school volunteers. This community garden is open to the neighborhood. Ms. Kirsten also has little kids come explore and learn about the importance of a garden.
We cut out triangles for a ceremony they're going to have in honor of some trees that are going to be removed from the park on the 24th of July. This community garden is important because it teaches little kids to value nature and the importance it has to us as humans. It also teaches them how to eat healthier. Not many people know this but gardens or parks improve our health and help us with the environment.
While there we got to taste and learn about plants, fruits, and vegetables. For example we tasted mint leaf which wasn't all that great. There were also other plants that Lupe told us we could eat but we didn't because we were too scared of trying something new. But what we did try were strawberries which we got to pick ourselves. All in all we had a fantastic time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)
