So for my resources I think that I have managed to surround myself with people who are willing to help and guide me through this process. The IDEA farmer and Ms. Jaegar have made themselves available to any questions we might have. Another very important source of information has been the previous person in charge of the maintenance of the garden last year, Sammy. We got some information on the kinds of things we could possibly grow from him and learned about some pesticide and there effects .
This project, from the beginning, has been something that we wanted to do in order to help the Idea community. Both Nidia and I feel like the reconstruction of the garden will bring students as well as teacher, faculty and parents involved in the education of their kids. We want to make a difference by bringing awareness about organ produce and what not. We also want to make the students feel like they can help contribute to something bigger than themselves, something that could potentially change the lives of those involved in the process. This is why we decided to link it to the Wellness and Environmental Club, this way we could come across more of these kids.
I have been keeping records of the activities we have done since we started the project. By posting on this blog, I am insuring that the things we do are made public and given importance.
I would like to make a calendar with meeting and fundraising for the club as well as for when we do go out and work on the actually planting. We also made a sponsor letter and we plan on passing out to those in the club next meeting this Thursday.
