3. how long has this garden been "around"
answer: "since last year i think, but we recently started tending to it at the begining of this year"

4. what will happen to this garden when summer break comes around?
answer: "well, some people will come back and tend to it, but not everyone, I mean I know I will"


Questions in class

1. what struck you as interesting about the garden?

what struck me the most interesting about this garden was the way they "make" their fertilizer.
they got a pile of w/e debris they found around the place and let it sit int the sun for a while.

2. what was the garden you expected?

i think i expected, well something a little bigger maybe. but then again, they said that the soil was pretty crappy... so i guess it might have not been much bigger. and other than that i didnt expect much else. I mean they had a various number of different plants and such.

3. do you think the garden is sestainable?

for the most part i think this garden is sestainable, i mean if people come back to work on it like Leland said it will turn out pretty well in the future.

4. what would you change about the garden?

i would change nothing, the garden right now is perfect, its simple, not to much, not to little. And what they are growing there, i might change that... well i'd put some more plants of some sort in it maybe some lettece, or some orange trees.
