Summer Student Garden Coordinator

May - August 2018 • Swarthmore, PA

What I liked

I loved being able to work outside in the gardens and give away everything we grew for free.

What I wish was different

I wish the program had a better sense of direction, but, then again, we were a pilot program.

Advice

Always take time to go outside and enjoy the landscape around you regardless of where you are. It can help relax the mind and make your day better.
