Youth Reflection - Amanda


This morning I worked at the community garden for women who were just released from prison and were trying to rebuild their lives. It was a beautiful garden with everything from watermelon vines to Thai chilies (which we tried… and regretted). It was a lot of fun weeding even though it was scorching hot. Fun songs and good company definitely made the work enjoyable. Along with the garden came a smaller prayer garden that was shaded. I definitely found myself drifting over there more often than not to water the plants or see if they needed help. It was such a pretty little place and felt like a fairy garden. I really enjoyed working at the community garden today and cant wait for the rest of the week!
