RUBI’S GARDEN

PROFILE

I want to work at the garden because:

Two of my personal goals for working at the Dallas Youth Garden this summer are:

1. Getting used to going out of my comfort zone

2 Keeping all of the plants healthy.

Two things I hope to learn from working at the Dallas Youth Garden are:

1. Learning how to grow or care for different types of plants.

2. Improving my teamwork and gardening skills.

I think my biggest challenge will be: Keeping the weeds away

My favorite vegetable or fruit is: Strawberries

I hope to contribute this to the garden this year: Staying dependable and always willing to help with tasks that are needed to be completed.
