Fence Panels and Community Connections

I feel that the discussion from Sept. 5th helped me to better understand not only the concept of completing an interview but also the etiquette. I know now not to write out my questions but to have an outline of ideas prepared.

Alex and I were talking while we were doing our tour and thought about doing a clean up and decoration project in the community garden with the elementary school kids. The area around the community garden could use some trash pick up and weed whacking. Knowing kids love to have something they can show off, the decoration came to mind. Each student, or class, can have a peice of plywood that they get to decorate. Maybe something along the lines of what do you think if when you think of home? (other then your house). We will seal the paintings and drill holes in the pieces of wood and attach them to the fence. This activity would not only get the students interested more in the community garden but give them something to connect to in the future. We could also ask other members of the community if they would like to design a panel for the fence so we could have different generations
