Last Thursday Tany (Our Education Outreach Coordinator/Maintenance Farmer) and I ( Matt the intern) visited some corporate sites that use Green City Growers services. It was my first time working in the field for Green City Growers and probably the first time I have ever actually done any gardening. It turned out to be a really great experience, and even though I couldn’t tell the difference between a weed and a carrot plant at first, I eventually caught on and was able to help.
We visited two Harvard Pilgrim Health Care sites to not only harvest, water, weed, and make sure everything was growing according to plan, but to also teach the employees how to do all this themselves. It was a great time and was really cool to see the excitement and enthusiasm had by the people who had taken an hour off from work to help garden.
