      I Really enjoyed doing garden clean up, because it gave me a chance to learn about different type of plants. I also learned about how to prevent weeds/crab grass in the future. The way you prevent grass from growing again, is by mulching. Mulch is any material that is spread or laid over the surface of soil as a covering. Mulch doesn't only suppress weed, But it also helps retain moisture in the soil, and keeps the soil cool when its hot outside. Mr. Bursch had people mulch around the Brassica plants that classes planted in the beginning of the year. This helps it look more presentable are it creates a natural fertilizer after decaying.

   While cleaning up the garden, i got to learn about what plants are edible. For example, you can eat the yellow flowers from a broccoli plant. You can also eat the rose bud, and rose petals. Another reason why doing garden clean up is important is because, 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.  At the end of garden clean up, we ended up with a bucket full of trash.
                 
                     This is a picture of all the trash we picked up from and around our garden.
