For my first service project I did a garden cleanup! Since I did not complete it when I should have, I made up my hours later in the garden. In totally I did two hours. The first one, I went with a group of people to the outside garden (not the one by Mr. Bursch's classroom) and we went around planting some new seeds, picking up trash, and pruning a couple plants. There was a big tree with long leave-type things that were its seeds. The tree was very pretty and across the street there was an open area with just dirt, next to the fence where the pool is. Me and Nicole dug a couple wholes and planted the seeds. We planted a bunch because most of the seeds will probably not take. There was also a lot of trash around the garden, and seeing it all picked up and clean, made it look much better, and set a good example on our Willow Glen High School community. I worked for an hour and it was very tiring because I have never done that kinda of work before. The next time I did garden cleanup was just me and Andrew and we made great progress. Behind the garden there is supposed to be a walkway to go through it, but the plants back there were so overgrown and their were so many weeds that you could barely see over there. We went back and made a good pathway that is now cleared or plants and trash. Andrew is a very good pruner and he cut most of the plants very well. It took so much work that we spent the whole hour just cutting away at an overgrown weed. In the end we made a clear pathway, so now people can easily go behind the garden and it looks good too. I had made a pile that was overflowing and huge, the size of a wall almost. Andrew did the cutting and I took all the branches and things that were cut off, and gathered them into a pile. That pile was later taken by the real gardener and made into compost, I think. The second hour was definitily harder, but I'm almost sad that garden cleanup is over. I had lots of fun with my classmates after school, and i for sure learned some new gardening tips and tricks for next time!

Garden Clean up cycle #2

In the second cycle of service projects I decided to do garden clean up again. The reason I decided to do garden clean up again is because I enjoyed it the last eound and being able to make our school cleaner and nice for the chickens. This cycle I did something totally different i helped organize the shed with Morgan Fernadez. It was important for us to clean the shed because it helps the people who work in the garden be more easier to find what they need to use. Also by knowing where everything is at can allow for the next rounds eaier way to come in and out of the shed when needing certain materials. This is why what we did for our service prohect is so important.

Garden Cleanup #2 Morgan. F

In this garden cleanup I learn that wanting a healthier life or doing something good for life. Its hard work and that what I did with the help of my friends. We worked hard to the last garden cleanup to now to see this garden become something we are proud of, cause we worked hard to support this garden. Even if it was to clean the shed, the little's thing help are earth to grow and that was what we did, we worked hard to see our planet to grow. So by gardening for the second time my friends and I learn that gardening can be peaceful and hard work, but it was worth it, If it means we get to see this garden come from worn down, then it to grow,

grow into something amazing.

          "Soil"                                                            "Soil and Leaves"

 Me and my brother decided to have a Garden Clean up together. I was assigned in the first day. I was to digging the soil to move the leaf to the ground to become Fertilizer it means we blended together and put water up and down the ground to soften the soil so that he could look into Fertilizer, so long as we move the soil or dilute the soil to become fertilizer. We have been in that part because there are hard things like wood, stone so we had to end it for a little time. We're even tired but our body is still strong because we don't think we get tired. Working on this project was hard because carrying the dirt was very heavy, but it was also fun and I enjoy the work because I worked with my friends as a team. So continue dilating. But Mr. Bursch also helped us to know what to do next but we did at last. And we've finished and we've got one hour or one and a half hours. I enjoyed working on this project because i learned how to take care of a garden and also so important this for everyone.

               " The Weeds Leaves'


          In the second day of Garden Clean up. We went to the Hummingbird Garden. On the left picture I did there to dig or remove the weeds and put on the shelf for not being unclean looking. And i also remove the remaining leaves, and cleaned up trash around the tree and anywhere we could find some. And we finished at 30 Minutes. 
                        







        "Sprayed Glyphospate in the Plant"

       On the right picture. We learned from Mr. Bursch why the leaves still show up or still display, because the accidentally happened the sprayed on a plant is called Glyphosate, an herbicide applied to the leaves of plants to kill both broad leaf plants and grasses. So there was a reason why the leaves died.So keep the Trees, Plants, and the Leaves for the Nature. So it's important to know how the Nature are important like Trees, Plants etc. and do not destroy for the Nature.

Garden Cleanup #2 Salvador Sanchez

 

For my second garden clean up I shoveled and mixed fresh soil with dried leaves and dead plants. By doing this it gave the soil more nutrients from all the plants I was mixing. I also pulled some weeds and put it into the mixture. It in turn gave the soil more nutrients it usually doesn’t get because the roots of the weeds go really deep into the soil, which the soil normally doesn’t get.

For this service project i did garden clean up again for two hours. I helped to clean the chickens house.  I put new tanbark in their little house this is helping them by giving them a clean environment for them to live in. They need a clean environment just like we do so that they can live in comfort and it should be cleaned every once in a while.

Day one me and Hingano started out with cleaning the half of the garden/walk way. So Hingano and i started from pulling the weeds,sweeping the bark and dirt back to where it is supposed to be. Furthermore, we put sum more bark to even out the other bark,40 minutes went by and Mr.Bursch noticed that a part that keeps the bark back broke so we fixed that and it was a pretty cool to be out side helping the school look better. It wasn't all that bad at the because we were using a broom and a screw driver to fix things up. After all we got in a whole 1 hour for that day and we were still needing another hour.

Day two we had to do another garden and we had a little more help from fellow classmates from different periods. The mickey long center was a mess with broken and chopped off branches, so we prepared for this by bringing 2 wheelbarrows and we loaded them up and dropped them off back in a big pile next to a lot of bark. In the end we made about 5 trips back and forth but it was worth it for a another hour and just to help out the school this was my garden clean up we enjoyed it.

On the second garden clean up, we finished cleaning all the dried seed pods off the tree. With all the dried seed pods that we collected, and some other seeds from another plant, we replanted them. We took the seeds and dug multiple holes in front of the middle school pool, which is right across the hummingbird garden. Hopefully one of the seeds will catch on, and a plant will grow. We also picked up even more trash, and pulled out unwanted weeds. By replanting seeds we start a new plant life. It helps keep our air clean by converting carbon dioxide to oxygen for us to breath during photosynthesis. Its beautiful knowing that you can help out on plant Earth just by cleaning up and replanting seeds. Keep doing good deeds.  This is a picture of some of the seeds that we picked of the tree, and then replanted.

On the first day of garden clean up, we focused on a tree in the hummingbird garden. This tree was full of dried seeds hanging from it. It made the tree look very old, and almost dead. We cleaned up half the tree, and cleaned up trash around the tree and anywhere we could find some. By cleaning up the garden, we help keep the world and our school healthy and clean. If people in the world don't start picking up their plastic bottles, and pieces of trash then our world will die. We only get one Earth, we NEED to keep it healthy. If we can create some kind of good impact on society and they world by having high school students pick up trash, i think we are doing the right thing.  This is a picture of the half cleaned tree. 

Alignment of the wood-like stuff in

       Me and my brother decided to have a Garden Clean up together. I was assigned in the first day to equally cut all the grasses in the garden. I started to cut the grasses in the place where there are some flowers located, so that the flowers wouldn't hide behind these tall grasses. I decided to feed the trimmed grasses to the chickens and the chickens liked them. I also continued to cut the grasses in the rectangle plot where the tall are also located, I just also equally cut them and feed it to chickens. After equally cutting all the grasses, I also tried to align the wood-like stuff beside the the road so it would look like a clean place.

Jordan L. De Jesus's Garden Clean up (2nd day)

In the second day of the Garden Clean up, I was assigned to pick up trashes in the other part of the garden. After this, we removed all the excess grasses beside the road and put it in the cart. I noticed and discussed with my teacher(Mr. Justin Bursch) about the dead-like plant when I was picking up trashes. Mr. Bursch told me that this plant was accidentally sprayed by Glyphosate, an herbicide applied to the leaves of plants to kill both broadleaf plants and grasses.

Fall 2018 Garden Cleanup

For our first day of garden cleanup, we were at the hummingbird garden. We picked up trash around the garden. This was difficult to do because some of the trash was under bushes and places that were hard to get to. Then we cleaned one of the trees in the garden by tearing off the dried up seeds on the branches of the tree. Finally, we pulled out any extra plants out of the garden that were creating too much competition for the other plants. On our second day of garden cleanup, we were in the main garden behind Mr. Bursch’s classroom. We used chopped up pieces of wood to fill the garden floor so it would cover up the chicken poop and make it look nice. This was kind of difficult because we had to carry the wood pieces in a wheelbarrow which would get heavy. Overall, it was fun.

For garden cleanup, we were in the main garden. We used chopped of pieces of wood to fill in the garden floor so it would cover up the chicken poop and make the floor look better. For that we had to go back and forth carrying the mulch in a wheelbarrow which was kind of heavy and then spreading it out on the chicken poop and covering it.
