i am on the green team at work. we started it last winter in order to try to green up this office. its funny that we are an environmental agency but a lot of the building practices and attitudes of the employees are quite anti-environment. anyway, in order to counter this we have been trying to put forward some initiatives inside and outside and one of them is a community garden. i have been growing a number of things in my plot, including cherry and plum tomatoes, green and banana peppers, basil, cilantro, cucumbers, peas, zucchini, buttercup squash, watermelon and pumpkins. i am so proud of the garden, and happy to be able to donate some of my food to the local food bank. i usually work on the garden at lunch, weeding and harvesting my crop. its a great stress release and a nice opportunity to have some outdoor space as i don't currently have any!!
