Drew and Tia sat at a picnic table in the park on a beautiful fall afternoon. The air around them was filled with the sounds of children playing, dogs barking, and people laughing or calling to one another. But Drew and Tia ignored the sounds around them and focused on the task they had set out to complete. They planned to start a school garden at Jefferson Middle School.
Initially, it had been Drew's idea. He had first seen a school garden when he went to visit his cousin P. J. in Washington. He was amazed at the variety of fruits and vegetables the students at P. J. 's school grew. "It's a lot of work, "P. J. had warned. "But it's also my favorite part of the week. I love putting on my boots, getting outside, and seeing all the new things that have happened. " When Drew returned from his trip to Washington, he told Tia all about what he had seen.
Now, at the table, they were determined to come up with a plan to bring a school garden to Jefferson. Drew opened his notebook and prepared to record any ideas they had for convincing Ms. Milano, the school principal, that the garden was a good idea.
"We're going to need an adult to guide the whole operation, " said Drew thoughtfully. "I know that Mr. Issac gardens at home. Just last week he brought in a whole basket of tomatoes and zucchini from his garden. He might be willing to help. "Drew wrote down Mr. Issac's name in his notebook.
"We might need donations to get this project up and running, " added Tia. "We could tell Ms. Milano that we would be willing to organize a yard sale to raise funds. "
"That's a great idea, " said Drew. "I think we need to be able to present her with a realistic plan. That way, Ms. Milano wouldn't feel as though she agreed to something unknown. "
