Overall, we've learned a lot about gardening, the environment, and time management. The amazing opportunity for us to create our own garden has provided us with skills that will be very useful for the future. From all of our seedlings dying to our thriving lettuce, we realized how much patience, hard work, and dedication was necessary for this project (and in life). We were able to apply what we learned from APES curriculum to our very own garden. Aside from academic achievements, we became closer as a group and just as our plants, we found ourselves growing and thriving.
