I want to work at the garden because:
Its a super fun activity
Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are: one to get a blue ribbon at state and two get at least 350 pounds of food
Two things I hope to learn for working at the Dallas Youth Garden are: how to grow better and how to get along with people
I think my biggest challenge will be: weeding
My favorite vegetable or fruit is: watermelon
I think a leader is: someone who takes charge and does the right thing even when no one is looking
I hope to contribute this leadership skill to the garden this season: teamwork
Garden Plan:
Rows of vegetables planted: 17
Number of different kinds of vegetables planted:12
Planned Garden Yield:300
My garden did or did/not match my plan and why: yes because I planed it carefully
