The beginning

The Beginning

The image above is a recent picture of our Heritage Garden. It might not look like anything right now, but I can guarantee that by the end of this program it will. The summer youth employment workers, all of who attend or have just graduated from Thurgood Marshall Academy, have been working hard to create a garden specifically with fruits, vegetables, and flowers form Africa. The process of weeding has been tiresome, but we are getting the job done. One of the hardest things that we have done in preparation for finishing the garden is collecting all the shade cloth. Shade cloth has helped us with gathering the weeds, but it is very fragile which makes it hard to pick it up. Hopefully all of our hard work will pay off in the end. I am very excited to see the outcome of our work and how it affects the way people view our school and community. I hope this is only the beginning of the way we are making the community better.
