Thank you Master Gardeners

I have learned many things in my experience at the beloved Dallas youth garden. A lot of those things were thanks to you lovely people. I have learned from planting to picking and care for each and every one of the different plants. You have brought much joy to my experience at the garden and have helped me and the others while we're gone or even here you would help with picking and watering when we're going slow. Also thank you so much for the different variety of delicious snacks in the mornings and the brownies were definitely my favorite because who doesn't love chocolate. So all around thank you for all the loving support and friendship in the Dallas youth garden

Sincerely,

Cayden Raymond
