A rainy day to start off the first class of the quarter. Many of my classmates’ spring breaks were going out of town or abroad such as to volunteer while others spent time with family and friends! After going through the syllabus, we separated in groups to discuss our HAPs. One idea is we want to create a community garden in terms of a sustainable community vegetable garden using a drip irrigation system for best outcomes. Our plan is to build a communal garden that can be used for planting fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Depending on space availability the plan is to build at least 3 raised garden beds. We want the seniors to pick what they wish to grow such as certain vegetable or herbs. An alternative idea is to create mason jar succulents, herbs, and plants! We would get all the crafts and create mason jar decorative plants with the seniors with paints, ribbons, rocks, and other decorations. This would really be a fun program because we would get to create a community space for the seniors to spend time with us and also take home their own creations. Overall, I am excited to see which path we take, depending on our resources, time crunch and space needed. I am also looking forward to seeing my classmates’ projects as they all sounded very entertaining.
