With Earth Day approaching, our school decided it was a great idea to get the student and staff body to contribute positively to the environment. There was numerous different volunteering options, and I chose to go to Chanticleer Acres, a local farm, to create a food forest for the wildlife. I helped by distributing soil to create a fertile ground for all of the plants, ensuring they would thrive in the food forest. Then, I planted blueberry bushes, taking into consideration their spacing and soil nutrients to promote healthy growth. Durning this, my friend and I both realized each others passion for gardening and wanted to do something together. These conversations led us to the idea of starting a garden club at Forman, as we both wanted to create more green spaces within our school community and involve other students in similar projects.
