Green Thumb

A garden. That’s what I’ll do. But, not just any ole’ garden. It will be one that screams “community”. You see, produce and fruits are becoming extremely expensive, making them harder to purchase for my family. Thus, decreasing a healthy way of eating in our household. With $422, I can grow my own vegetables and fruits. Have the neighborhood children join in and create an outlet for them to infuse their energy. How’s this going green? Well, children helping in the garden takes away from the time spent inside playing video games and watching television = less electricity used. Growing my own vegetables and fruits gives back locally = less green (money) being spent and production in larger markets. Attending to a garden is a lot of work, so I’ll be outdoors more = less time on the computer wasting time and energy. By the time I am finished my project, I will have turned my $422 into an amount that is priceless when I think of all the benefits of a garden. I cannot wait to see what opportunities sprout!
