Issac's Garden
Intern Profile
I want to work at the garden because: I have a garden at my house and I thought it would be a challenge (as it is so far).
Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:
1. to have a sustaining garden
2. to have at least 5 pumpkins this seasons
Two things I hope to learn for working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:
1. how to better take care of plants
2. how to harvest the veggies
I think my biggest challenge will be: keeping the plants alive
My favorite vegetable or fruit is: pickled beets
I hope to contribute this to the garden this year: by having good produce and being a good team member
