How to Build a Garden

This article will explain how we built a community garden at school. The purpose of our garden is to work as a community with other students. We work together in one group and to plant the garden to do our senior project.

First, we together in Mrs. Beymer class talk about what to plant in our garden, and we research it in the paper that Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Beymer give to us in class. Our plants are Collard greens, rutabaga, arugula, turnip, romaine lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, mustard, and kale.

We measure the bed size

 

Second, we draw out the garden bed size, and talk out together and figure out how long is our bed size; the bed size is 7 ft. long and 3 ft. wide, 5 ft. apart. And we go out side to measure our garden bed.

Then, we go outside again next with Mrs. Wright’s class and Football player from weight training class to dig our garden. It took two days to finish our garden dig.

Mrs. Rodriguez drill the wood

Next, when we finish the dig, Mrs. Rodriguez does the drill the wood boards, and some student help out to hold the wood. We got five wooden beds. When we finish with five garden beds, we go to put the dirt in the garden bed. We got dirt from the truck and in the bag. Each garden bed we mix nine dirt bag and some dirt from the truck.

 After that, we plants our first plant is call broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and romaine lettuce.

Finally, we plants our last vegetable, is called collard greens, rutabaga, spinach, arugula, turnip, mustard, and kale. And water our  plants. I was really likes happy to work with other student that most I don’t know. And work with teacher are good and fun.
