Rox Garden Day

I cleaned out an entire greenhouse full of weeds, plated green beans, and watered some plants. This helped me grow through gods creation and help some that need it to help this garden grow. I had a lot of fun doing this.

I had a fun time helping out the Rox Garden helping them pull weeds, plant seeds, and water plants. I loved helping out the Garden because it feels good to help a good cause and knowing that later on it might be very impactful on people.

great

During this volunteering experience I improved my teamwork skills. I worked with others to clean the plant beds by pulling weeds, cleaning up the trash, and planting new vegetables. I also improved my gardening skills by learning to use different tools. This service made me more aware of the food disparities in Memphis. This experience made me realize how important places like this are. Not only providing food for people but fresh food grown from a garden makes a difference and is so needed in the community. I got to know some of my fellow emerging leaders better and talked to people I had not seen in a while. I also met some new people who also go to University of Memphis. We worked together as a team to clean up the plant beds. My service contributed to the mission of this organization by cleaning up all the overgrown weeds and trash that had piled up allowing for a fresh start for the garden. As far as challenges faces I have planted plants before however I never really used any tools so that was new for me. Also in our bed that we were cleaning a tree had managed to grow so it took all of us to dig and pull out the tree so that there would be room for the new vegetables.
