1.
What did you do?
I have been so overwhelmed with schoolwork and actual work that I
haven’t gone out to a garden yet. I fully plan to as soon as possible because
it needs to be done and it is so beautiful outside! I’m hoping on working in the Campus Garden because I was out
there a few days ago at sunset and the plants in the raised beds were looking
great.

In what ways has your service-learning
experience enhanced your academic growth?
To be honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to working in the
garden before but now I am a little bit excited to get out there. For academic
growth, I think it will help me get to know my community better and help me get
back to basics.

In what ways has your
service-learning experience enhanced your personal growth?
As far a personal growth, I can’t wait to be working outside
because it is getting so beautiful out and the sun will feel so good. I haven’t
been feeling that great lately so I think helping the gardens out will really
help me too. Because I didn’t really want to do it before, it surprises me how
much I have turned around, just walking through the gardens.

In what ways has your service-learning
experience enhanced your civic learning?
I am brand new to Asheville so I think getting my hands dirty and
really getting down in the soil will help me better understand the land and
it’s importance. I expect the gardens have a lot to offer and I am looking
forward to seeing how they are organized and how I can help.
5.
What are your service-learning
goals for the future?
For the future, I hope to make time to spend in the garden, and
not just for this class but maybe just to be among what I have worked with. And
I hopefully will travel down to the Botanical Gardens to see the difference
between the different organizations. It should be very pretty.
