TCG Groundbreaking Day

WIth the last weekend of the semester, it came time to wrap up the last of my stewardship work. I decided to do this work with Temple Community Gardens because of its convenient location right on campus. This past Sunday they held a ground breaking day at their new garden location at Broad and Norris streets. It’s a great location that I think will draw many more volunteers because it is so easily accessible.

The first surprising part about the day was walking out of my dorm to see the Broad Street Run going on!

After watching the runners and cheering them on for a few moments, I headed down the few blocks to the new garden location. As I arrived there were only a few people starting to work, but as the day went on more and more joined. The goals of the day were to do some much needed weeding to the space, spread mulch, and start building the raised beds for the plants. It was amazing to see how quickly it was all getting done!

For my time there I did weeding for part of the space. A lot of weeding was done, but the space was so unkept that it needed even more. However, with a great group working together like Temple Community Gardens I’m sure it will be done in no time.

At last, my stewardship work has come to an end. I’ve had a great time getting out into the community and taking my class room work to the next level. It was hard work, but in the end it was well worth it!
