Many weeks ago for Wananga class, we were given the Passion Projects prompt. We got to choose to do an activity of our choice, and an extra choice in case our original choice wasn't taken. I was able to do my project with some friends, to work on the School Garden. With Mark, we were able to get a decent amount of progress in.
We planned a lot of things for the garden, but never got to them because of time constraints. We had the idea of adding some worm farms and some compost bins, and an unused shipping container for one of the buildings inside the area of the garden. Not much was changed in the plan, as we hadn't gotten that far ahead.
We dug up some bark and dirt for the dirtbeds and had some of the juniors help us with Mark's help. A few times, some had spilled out because we didn't have anything to seal the door shut with, but the wheelbarrow we used was still fine.
After that, we built a few more beds with some tools from the workshop. We used squares and measuring tape to know how much we needed to cut. Though loud, we got the pieces off and ready for assembly. With even more tools and some screws, we assembled a few of the beds and laid them according to the plan.
We continued this process for a while until October 27, where the projects have ended and our presentations were prepared.
I am happy about the progress we made on the gardens. Though the progress was not very significant, it was worth something, and I got to talk to new people and have fun with friends.
We all did our part in the project, there wasn't anyone who was dead weight.
All in all, I'd like to thank Mark Sowerby and the other juniors that helped us in the gardens, and my friends and teammates for doing their part. It was a lot of fun to do, but not something I'd willingly ask for.
