Sabre Garden Research Paper

Improved Essays
There are many different ways and things that everyone can to do help and serve the community. I had the privilege of helping in the Sabre Garden which had various different jobs for everyone to do and help participate in. The Sabre Garden is just one of the many things that helps the community in a great way. It also ties in with civic engagement and I felt like I made some progress with getting together with many other people and working together. The Sabre Garden is a community garden for anyone to help with and volunteer. The main way the garden helps the community is by growing fresh produce. All the fresh produce that the garden grows they give to the local food pantry. Most food pantries do not have fresh produce right from the garden, so this is a great way to give people who are shopping at the food pantry a chance to get fresh produce. While I was at the garden volunteering, I help to set up the weedwacker to trim around the plants in the garden. Also I help with pulling weeds in the garden. The garden is very beneficial to the local food pantry by providing all the fresh produce to them so others can enjoy it. …show more content…

All of these things helped with the process of making it possible to donate the produce to the food pantry. When a person helps with a project like this is can make them feel very good and want to keep helping. It also brings people together to help serve the

    Garden Sweet Farm is located about two miles North of Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado. To get there from where I live, I drove North on Shield street. To the left and near the Larimer County Sheriff Fire Rescue Cache had a little pound with a fanatic view for me to look at when I drove there every morning.

    When you search to define the word garden, its definition emerges only as an area of ground where plants (such as flowers and vegetables) are grown according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. However, to Enlightenment writer and French philosophe Francois-Mari Arouet, a garden represents much more than just that. Going by his pen name Voltaire, Francois uses a manifold of symbols such as the garden throughout his satirical novel Candide. This novel express Voltaire’s wit by frequently exploiting the nature of humans to examine others’ circumstances and lifestyles to be better than that of their own. Although Candide is a satirical irony throughout, Voltaire discloses one of his beliefs through his protagonist character near the end that one…

    I believe Voltaire’s meaning of cultivating our garden is that we need to live our lives, and not worry about the things we cannot control. If we work hard then good things will happen. It is not up to just one person to solve every problem. We all need a little optimism in our lives. I agree with Voltaire that hard work will pay off in the end.…

    There are many different ways in order to give back to the community. A few of these ways include money, time and attitude. Money is, of course, essential to living, therefore a huge amount of money would definitely be helpful but not always necessary. One person does not need to give thousands of dollars to make a difference because someone else can give one dollar and still impact the community. It should be an effort from everyone in the community to give back that way one person doesn 't have to give everything.…

    This week is Interfaith Week, a period of celebrating integration, promoting acceptance and understanding, but within the last two weeks the world has exposed a much bleaker depiction in relation to our level of acceptance. There has been excessive discontent in the world with the recent Paris attacks and thus rising anti-Islamic mentality. There have been attacks from Glasgow to the small region of Fife, where in Methil, 15 men attacked a Muslim couple who owned a shop. Giving these current situations, I feel myself and others of comparable thought questioning what are people doing to promote better understanding between individuals and improved acceptance within diverse belief systems within our local community? Especially the Islamic religion…

    Botanical Garden Observations On this Wednesday evening at 1800 on October 05, 2016 I am at one of the most prestigious popular hotels on the Las Vegas, NV strip. I am at the botanical garden where a new world is created with flowers and other natural resources to create wonderment for the current season; each season is changed and every year is different. While inside the botanical gardens I first want to soak up my environment with my eyes closed; I can heighten my senses to the various sounds and smells and get a varying perspective on my area. Once I experience the area with my eyes closed for about ten minutes I then want to touch as much as I can and look around.…
