Gettin' Things Rolling

Today in class we were able to schedule an appointment with our principal, Mr. Herzfeld, and we got a huge start. We talked about legality issues with distributing food to other people, and also accessibility of where we wanted the garden in the school. A lot of the areas of land that we looked into have underground piping and things of the sort, so we can't exactly have it wherever we would like. It was decided that we should, for the better, improve the school's already existing garden, which more-or-less has been abandoned. So we'd like to talk to some of the current garden's "caretakers" and see if we can, in my opinion and not exactly in tune with my group, take over. So next week we'll be conversing and whatnot with the caretakers of the school's garden, and hopefully, we can work some things out!

The Week to Present

This week our group is being asked to make a short presentation of 2-3 minutes and present to an audience of staff members of the school, representatives of a newspaper, and a couple of the students' parents. I think this is awesome. We'll have an opportunity to communicate our idea, our ideals, and our beliefs on gardening. Well, our presentation is a work in progress. Anyways, this week around, we're working on contacting some school officials to actually acquire the place on campus on which we want to begin the garden. I believe most important is the school administrator and the softball team coach, which we should get done within the week. Otherwise, I think our group is growing closer together and well-tuned with each other and everything should be peachy and clean.
