My Project
The goal of my Gold Award project is to make sure that fresh food is available to everyone in my community. This is especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic when some people may not have access to fresh fruits and veggies.

The GardenTo fulfill this goal the first thing that had to be done was planting the garden at the Common Ground Community Center. We did this using succession planting, so the garden would produce food for the longest time possible. My team and I added in apple trees, so that in the future the kids playing on the Common Ground playground can enjoy a fresh snack. We also built a compost bin so the waste from the garden can be reused and recycled.
