History of Veggie Garden:
The veggie garden holds many wonders from the many years. In 2012 the beds were made to raise sweet potatoes. In 2015 the garden was blooming, in 2016 it kept growing, then later in 2017 it was growing but at a slower speed. By 2018 it was starting to get trampled on and many of the stones in the amphitheater were getting taken out. The destruction was starting to get worse.
Some creations from clubs and many peoples peoples objects were getting destroyed there. Jackets were starting to be all over the grounds and there were miniscule amounts of greenery. Then when 2020 came around and everyone had to stay inside the area started to bloom again. Since barely any people were there the plants could have a better chance to grow. With a big community push for a better outdoor classroom many bald spots were filled to the brim with greenery. Now in 2021 we have many thick carpets of plants that are flourishing at our Veggie Garden.
