Over the course of several days, the group spent time growing and harvesting produce at the local Promear Community Garden. The opportunity was a rewarding one for the youth as the garden helps contribute to meals for their families, many of which receive government assistance. Participants spent their time weeding and watering the garden, as well as learned the significance of the plants in the garden and how to make organic plant spray. Community garden owners Mr. and Mrs. Predgen also treated the families to a lesson in food preservation with a canning demonstration.
The event/project proved to be a success as YFP families came together to support one another and their community.
