GYM Garden



Describe the Gym Garden:

The gym garden is a very tidy and neat little garden. It has great exposure to the sun, but is not in full shade. This is great because it allows the plants to grow. However, one of the weaknesses is that is it is very close to a sunny pavement. In addition, a different weakness is that it is not safe from foot trafic and other interence.

What are your predictions for GYM garden compared to the other gardens on campus?  **This may seem kind of stupid, but I actually think it is true. People say that when animals decompose they are good for the soil, I never believed it until two summers ago.**  We were outside of my shore house walking the dogs and we found a dead rabbit at the foot of our driveway. We did not know what to do withit. we were having fun and in lazy summer mode. it stayed their overnight. The next day my dad put on gloves got the rabbit and buried it in the tiny garden in front of our house. we joked about it being great fertilizer. The next spring the plants in that soil were wonderful. 3 times better than they ever were before. The rest of my family said it was a coincidence but deep down inside I knew it was that rabbit that made our garden so beautiful all last Spring and summer.  By:  Will Yoh Because of this event i think this garden will grow the best from the dead rabbit buried in the soil.
