Gardeners
By Jasmine N.
We are
gardeners
We dig, weed
and plant
We get
sweaty, thirsty and hungry
Planting
seeds was like digging into the earth, way deep down
The soil was
like mooshy ice-cream
In the
ground I saw bugs, weeds and dead plants
I think the
lavender will be like light purple and smell really fresh
Planting a
garden felt like making our community a better place for people to enjoy
It will be
greener!
Gardening
By Linda P.
We are
gardeners,
Planting and
pulling
And cutting
and pruning
We see our
plants growing in the sunlight
And Mother
Nature hugging us in her arms.
We touch
beautiful flowers and soil so soft.
We smell the
fragrance of lavender and fresh air.
We hear the
wind whistling in our ears
And all the
grunting and groaning and moaning of effort
As we plant
our garden.
We taste our
hard work
And all the
things that we planted together.
