Vision is necessary for positive growth. Our vision was to provide the tools and opportunity for the youth to plant healthy food and take pride in its growth. Self worth is connected to our feeling of accomplishment. The obvious growth of a plant and the creation of a story illustrate the completion of cycle. Cycles repeat as plants seed themselves for the following season. This is a time of growth and Watts is again at the hub of West Coast change. The families of Watts are people of rich culture and their children have come to help us all remember our truth. Mother Earth is fertile and just. The youth have solutions. |

People work in the garden to plant seeds, food, vegetables. Insects live in some gardens. Bugs be on the plants that is already planted. People pick carrots in the garden.
Trees grow in some gardens but on the trees they grow fruit, so they would not have to go to the store to buy those needs. You have to plant the seed in order to grow something in a garden.

Paradise is the most beautiful place to be. I love the cool soft smell of the rain. The beautiful trees blow freely as the wind blow in the waterfalls. I tell you, paradise is a beautiful place to be.
